A long-awaited White House report on the state of the U.S. industrial base finds that "all facets of the manufacturing and defense industrial base are currently under threat," and warns that entire industries vital to national security are facing "domestic extinction."
The report, which was directed by an executive order that President Donald Trump signed on July 21, 2017, took a year to complete, involving a dozen federal agencies and 300 workers. Its findings were distilled down to 50 pages plus appendices summarizing the stresses eroding U.S. industrial strength. Many of the recommendations derived from the analysis are contained in a classified (secret) annex -- some of which are already being implemented.
The White House decided to release the report after financial markets had closed on Thursday evening. Although its findings are not likely to move markets, they present an alarming picture of U.S. industrial decay driven by both domestic and foreign factors.

A thought: Design everywhere and anywhere but manufacture it local.
After 8 years of Obama, the destruction was nearly 100% complete. The Magic Negro’s liberal fascist policies were designed purposefully to weaken the United States as Obama went on his world tour of apology: ‘So sorry for our white racist history, everybody, the days of American exceptionalism are over!’ But thanks to President Trump, the days of America’s exceptionalism are only beginning.
Never again will America elect a treasonous president in the style of Obama. We learned our lesson well.
We owe the magic negro at least one running out of town on a rail, tarred and feathered.I look forward to it after America reads about the damage that he did.
This “O” hangover is a killer
But USA products.
Or perish.
Vote with your money; for your own countrymen.
I think it wasn’t just Obama.
Both parties have been selling out America, for the entire last generation and a half.
Both parties. Everyone...
You are absolutely correct. Imagine if this destruction to our industrial base had happened 80 years ago. We’d all be speaking Deutsche.
Are there any left? A surprising array of products from US companies are entirely made in China, and for a lot of “made in USA” products, practically the only step of the process still left in the US is the application of the “made in USA” sticker.
There are a lot of foreign companies creating more jobs in the US than ostensibly US companies.
If Trump can't stop this slide to oblivion - thirty years down the road we'll be speaking Chinese. Well, what's left of us...
Both parties have been selling out America, for the entire last generation and a half.

From Obama’s 2009 speech in Cairo:
I disagree. Even if I did agree, Obama makes his competition look like mere pikers.
“I have come here to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world; one based upon mutual interest and mutual respect; and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive, and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles – principles of justice and progress; tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.”
( This is all a lie, Sharia Law and The Constitution of the United States are indeed incompatible)
