Even if we stopped importing from China today, we don’t have the skills or machinery to rebuild. It would take YEARS and capital that does not exist.

Manufacturing is gone. And it ain’t coming back soon.

We need industry.

America cannot remain strong without industry.

America needs to remain strong. Powerful.

All the current trends are in the wrong direction. The end result of what is currently happening, is a catastrophe.

We are not there now. But we need to stop buying everything from China.

Bring back American industry.

Now.

*******************************************************************
The Germans didn’t make the mistakes our government made—they still have the needed machinery and very skilled workforce (constantly being replenished by their education institutions and practices) to support manufacturing industry. And they manufacture products very much in demand throughout the world. They just have to resist the impulse to support their lazier European compadres (and thus commit financial suicide).

The United States could rebuild its manufacturing infrastructure and capabilities IF IT DESIRED. We would have to re-prioritize how our capital is allocated. Germany makes top notch machinery and would be more than happy to supply us. But I fear that our current national leadership is more interested in enriching their cronies than undertaking the hard lifting of rebuilding our industrial might.
