You prolly missed the part where he sez "That is why I am forcing Intel to cover every single building and parking lot they own with solar panels made right here in America from factories built with startup money from the fat coffers of the INTC treasure room. Then Intel will look at windmills and electricity storage."

Mary; On the one hand he says that our government should be willing to turn to protectionism if need be. On the other hand he reminds us of Hungary and the dangers of government inolvement. I don't see any hint of a roadmap here. Oh gosh the road map is to incentivize manufacturing here in America with government help through legislation - such as an import tax. That's a rather bold but very clear road map. You can sure argue against this if you want but to say it isn't a proposal for a way forward is wrong. ..........The mention of Hungary isn't a contradiction at all. It is a warning of what happens in a socialized State which provides all for its people - like what is increasingly happening in America. Do we want to create jobs and put people to work or just pay workers whether they go to work or not? Steve
