The religion of free trade has completely gone too far. No one in their right mind should have believed that China would play fair or that they would ever do anything other than what they are doing now. Their recipe was always to build their own country up to challenge and overtake us and they don’t care who they hurt to do it.
It’s time for the U.S. to have an industrial policy to keep important things produced here. Medicine, rare earths, metals, shipbuilding, minerals, and important technological products need to be supported by whatever means necessary to preserve our sovereignty.
Harrumph!!!!
