Why would it surprise everyone that a socialist supports government intervention in the marketplace?
With respect, the government has been meddling in the marketplace for years by punitive taxation of businesses.
Sure, you are being told that the US is going to a more intellectual property, service economy.
Let me tell you from bitter experience. A service economy doesn’t work when people can’t afford the services. Every country needs an actual manufacturing base. We no longer have one, and we are pretty much screwed.
The country that single handedly started the industrial revolution now makes almost nothing itself. Think about that for a second.
I bet it would be super easy for a smart guy like you to state simply and directly just why this is so.
And then please tell us all how much manufacturing is sufficient to constitute this "base".
