In 1942-43, from a standing start, we launched over 50 aircraft carriers. They didn’t take 14 years each to build.
These days, my thoughts often turn to, “Back Then”. What a wonderful and powerful nation we were in the 1940’s and 50’s. I read that during the war for example, we produced a Liberty Ship every 24 hours and a B-24 every hour...think about that. The “Arsenal of Democracy” is what we were referred to. Those days are behind us. Now, in the same time it took us to defeat Japan and Germany..we can’t even design a website to manage obamacare. It is no wonder the world laughs at us..they should.
No tariffs, not fighting back, the income tax, un-Free Trade, and a rush to de industrialize to make a buck destroyed the once great USA.
