Listen "Should the U.S. Bail Out Intel? The High Stakes of America's Chip Future"

Episode Synopsis

This Money Monday, Brian goes into one of the biggest economic and controversial question today: Should the U.S. government invest billions into Intel to keep semiconductor innovation and manufacturing on American soil?  Drawing parallels to the auto bailouts of 2009 and other government rescues, Brian unpacks the risks of "socializing" industries, the potential dilution of Intel shares, and the broader implications for investors, taxpayers, and global competition. From China's aggressive tech strategies to the exploding demand for AI and quantum computing, the conversation asks whether a government stake in Intel is a smart safeguard—or a dangerous precedent. Is this a necessary move to secure America's technological edge, or another slippery slope where taxpayers foot the bill for failing companies?   Listen, Watch, Subscribe, Ask! https://www.therealmoneypros.com Host: Brian Wiley
