One problem with operations that were shut down happens when the equipment is sent overseas or scrapped.

Yep, you are right on and correct. This is not going to rectified over night. It’s gonna take some time and some government interaction, corp. tax breaks, etc. to get this ship back upright again.

Hamiltonian, back in the Clinton regime when China was buying up our bankrupted steel mills, etc., I decided the US was finished. How can we ever hope to win a war when the basic elements such as for bullets are manufactured in Red China?

So this news from a former military man and geologist Zinke is stunning. It means he has every intention of doing more, e.g., taking back the gift to Indonesia, the Grand Escalante National Park and allowing coal mining or selling it back to capitalists.

If Trump is President for 8 years, can you imagine the resurgence of fundamental manufacturing in this country? My only concern is whether the USGS has any competent, honest, apolitical scientists left?
