For your consideration. On trying to grow manufacturing, do you think telling those who would invest to grow domestic manufacturing would be more or less encouranged if told any product they produce could not be exported, unless another company added value to it first?
When we had manufacturing here in the United States, at traditional levels, our success wasn’t won or lost on foreign sales. I will admit all foreign sales certainly helped the bottom line.
We were not in danger of being held over a barrel if we needed another refrigerator. We merely made one.
With a finite product, we reach a point when there is none left. I do not want to deplete our supplies of energy products.
Look, you may be right. I am arguing my point of view on this. I appreciate you advocating for what you believe is right.
