My personal suggestion: Bring back production to the US, Canada and Mexico (now that we have a great trade pact), and make North America Great Again!
YES...exactly what many of us have been SCREAMING, on the CV threads. Especially our Rx meds and med supplies.
I saw an interview, last night on Lou Dobbs, with Rosemary Gibson...she has been sounding the alarm for YEARS about how we’ve sold our most precious production...our MEDICINES and MEDICAL SUPPLIES, to China!
She projected that it would take several months - a year to get factories up and running, to begin producing these items, here.
Trump has got to get this going now.
In terms of pharmaceuticals, I think we could gear up faster - but you have to realize the pharmaceutical industry has been under major attack here so they haven’t invested a lot in this country. But it’s probably a much nimbler industry in terms of production and could get up and running faster.
Also, why aren’t we buying our on-line purchases in furniture, hardware, home decoration, etc. from companies in the US? We can certainly make this stuff, and we used to do so, but then we outsourced it to lower-priced but shoddy Chinese manufacturers. Actually, even IKEA, which I used to buy and assemble (I’m good at assembly!) and which was produced in Sweden and other near-by or “supervised” countries, was high-quality...and then they started getting a lot of stuff manufactured in China. Holes aren’t drilled straight, the steel is old-style, and I’ve pretty much stopped buying it. I check the label to see where it’s been made, because Chinese-made stuff is garbage.
