IN the 1940’s the USA managed to create enough industrial out put to supply two friendly empires with weapons and also make enough for us to take down 2 hostile empires. So you idea that there are not enough Americans(320M and rising) to make all of our junk is utterly preposterous, If not laughable.

I was alive during WW 2, and I can remember the rationing and shortages that were necessary in order to meet the demands of war production. People constantly were griping about the situation, even though I guess most folks basically understood the rationale for their hardships.
In any case, if that’s the kind of economy you really want, I’ve gotta marvel at your naivete.
