She could be the trigger, but semi conductor technology is the gun. Taiwan has it; WE don't. We used to, who knows, maybe it was traded away when China was lending US money for operating costs for years now. Our debt is over 30 trillion. Google a trillion ..it is unfathomable . How did our debt get so big? Where did our taxes go during this time? Bill clinton balanced the budget. It has been 22 years since he was in office.

Getting back to semi conductors; they are necessary for the manufacturing of vehicles, TVs, computers etc. ..everything we need to live in the 21 st century.The US has made one test case for semi conductors and it failed.

So, Taiwan has this technology...guess this is how China got to manufacture so many things we buy at wal mart etc. Guess this is why the US stopped manufacturing anything and became a service industry country. WE Americans are only left to wonder what happened to all the taxes collected the last 20 years or so? Why are there no audits to tell US what congress did with our money?

Maybe it isn't a good time for Nancy Pelosi to pay them a visit.
