While trade can be beneficial, we are seeing some consequences of unfettered trade. Entire industries have been shipped overseas.
I heard someone say that we couldn’t win World War II today. They were talking about how our nation’s industrial capacity was revamped towards war production at that time. Vacuum cleaner factories were turned into machine gun assembly plants. Car factories were turned into jeep and tank assembly factories. Clothing factories shifted to producing parachutes and clothing for the war effort. And so on.
The point being, we no longer possess the industrial base we used to have. If God forbid a World War II type conflict happened, we don’t have the industrial base any longer to produce all the materiel needed for such a war effort.
I lived near the Watertown Arsenal in MA-—it operated 24 hours a day—no longer there.
Exactly why it is so important to MAGA.
