Far too many otherwise wise and patriotic Republicans, have allowed their antipathy toward unions, to drive them into supporting the de-industrialization of America.
In each World War - America prevailed not only because our young grew up from the first elementary schools bb guns, knowing how to shoot, but also because we had the world’s best and largest, manufacturing base.
Think Sherman tanks. Thousands were turned out quickly, using automobile manufacturing lines. They might not have been the perfect opponent to the German Tiger Tank, but they served the purpose, and helped save the world.
Think Manhattan Project. Every industry in America, was involved.
Could we do either of those now?
Would we even, as a nation, have the innovative capacity at this point?...
Why must everything be about driving down costs?? Even at the expense of our own future.
We’re consuming ourselves! Our own capabilities.
Our children’s heritage.
Gone. For nothing more honorable, than cheap trinkets at Wal*Mart.
