Big-spending subsidies like CHIPS definitely stimulate growth in the targeted industry, with film being a classic example of how impactful the subsidies can be. The issue is that the subsidies are paid for by taxes on everything else. Realistically, the regulatory burdens on small & medium businesses are probably a bigger deterrent to long-term growth than high business tax rates though (and progressive policies have been responsible for much of the regulatory burden).
