Intel is stagnating since the x86 instruction set because the PC platform default. They have been a drag, along with microsoft on all things computers since the 1980s
Now imagine how government will effect that. You know how the government's been trying to put back doors into hardware? A lot easier to do when you own part of a major chip manufacturer. Do you think having a steady supply of government orders will make them innovate or get lazier? Why is the government proving up a dragging company? Isn't that picking losers and winners like Republicans had issues with in the Solyndra deal?
Intel failing isn't a reason for the government to get involved, it's a reason to stay away.
