House Passes Tech Boosting Bills

[HardOCP News]

The U.S. House of Representatives approved two bills that, according to the Electronic Industries Alliance, will help American companies remain competitive.

The bills would award new researchers at least $80,000 annually, for five years; create a Presidential Innovation Award for science and engineering; and require the National Institute of Standards and Technology to report its recruiting and retention efforts at NIST laboratories and joint institutes. The legislation also asserted the need for a balanced science program at NASA to boost U.S. innovation and competitiveness.

I thought capitalism was supposed to take care of that. Customer demand, and such. I'm so naive.

How about just eliminating tax breaks and grants to business who does outsourcing to other nations....


That alone would boost our tech sector through the roof.
