> We can definitely offer subsidies for manufacturing in the US

The very subsidies Intel now has to pay with shares for? How is that a subsidy? Companies now and in the future would be very concerned before taking any US subsidies because the terms can always change after the fact.

Are we so sure Intel sees this as a bad thing? The US now has even more reason to prop them up.

Yes, does it matter if there are more reasons? If you want to do something, 1 is enough. The rest are excuses.
