A country without an strong industrial base can never, could never, win a war of attrition. Free Traitors™ have put this country at risk, it’s a national security issue.

The factories can be rebuilt. Unfortunately the management, engineering, and skilled labor forces take a generation or more to develop and train to peak efficiency. The US won WWII because it had a huge industrial base protected by two oceans from enemy attack. That manufacturing base was quickly converted from consumer goods to military production because of the knowledge and ingenuity of the managers, engineers and workers. The knowledge base was as important as the buildings and machines.
Over the past 25 years, we have allowed an industrial base that took over 125 years to develop go away. The managers, engineers, die makers, machine tool operators, and others critical to operating a 21st century industrial infrastructure are reaching retirement age. In another ten years the knowledge will be gone. To rebuild industry, new managers and workers will have to be taught and developed in the same way US managers and workers transferred knowledge to China and other countries before they were cast aside. Does anyone believe the Chinese will fund the redevelopment of industry in the US in the 2020’s, much less train the 20 and 30 year old American workers?
Without productive capacity, who is going to pay for the Social Security and Medicare benefits of retirees, much less social programs for 150 million people and a world class military. Sorry, but nail salons, college professors, social workers, hedge fund managers, and government bureaucrats produce nothing of real value. Their output of their labor is intangible and will not take a nation to the stars.
I agree completely.
Bring back American manufacturing, and American jobs.
