Innovation and Competition Act 2021 and The America Competes Act 2022 (America's Technological Adaptation to a Post Pandemic Innovative Era)

Redeveloping our nation requires commitment from all of the parties involved. Bi-partisanship is one of those things that can lead to great new things. While we may disagree about lots of side issues such as values, spending, economic approaches, etc... we should be unified in trying to build one of the most advanced nations the world (and history) have seen. Remember that the types of technologies that are coming out now are bigger than the Industrial Era and as we move into the Digital Era we will look back 50 and 100 years from now and know that a marked technological change happened after the Pandemic (Innovation became highly important and was given a push by necessity.). With significant change our modern era could become compared to the Renaissance of Europe much like the Black Death sparked a new way of looking at the world the Pandemic has pushed us to think about our competitive abilities and how new technologies become part of our natural societal adaptation/evolution (See Black Death and Renaissance). 

New government pushes to encourage economic change are natural and should be expected by nations such as the U.S. that have developed preliminary technologies that helped maintain the economy during difficult times and are seen as increasingly important for future economic resilience (Also making bipartisanship more possible to accomplish great things. Few good things happen without multiple stakeholder coordination.). These changes are likely part of our natural course of development (i.e. perhaps the start of an American Renaissance).....
