I completely understand the sentiment and I believe your read of the ideological landscape is probably spot on. But in practical terms, how likely is it that such a thing could actually happen? Once the grants are locked in I think it might be really difficult to attempt to claw back money that's been allocated. The same things going on with the infrastructure bill and the inflation reduction act, namely that I think there's a race against time to try to get these funds out the door before the next Congress could take them away.
So, despite the best efforts of the next congress, we might nevertheless stay at the frontier of things like chip manufacturing and next gen infrastructure in it's various forms.
