You’re right, I forgot my own crazy ideas.

I’m advocating cherry picking imports based on ally status, quality and quantity.

Machine tools, clothing, etc.... there are huge sources of jobs that we have virtually eliminated.

From a national security standpoint as well as an employment standpoint we need to get back into numerous industries.

Well I agree with that - to a point - and I like the notion of cherry picking certain areas where it makes sense from a national security standpoint. If one were to go too far in that area though it makes little sense because our unions are so expensive relative to the rest of the world and we can't snap a finger and make unions go away. I know you addressed that as well. So it requires a thoughtful balance of many considerations.
