Dependence on China. All planned for decades by both sides. All this shit and hearings, investigations etc are just theater as they continue to subvert us. They shipped out our manufacturing capacity overseas in back door deals since the 70’s. Now we can’t make shit on our own. <<—problem. —-> solution: the gubmint will bring it back under state control. Done.

If we stopped shipping in Chinese crap, manufacturing would ramp up to fill the gap. Sure there would be a lag time but it could be done. It takes the will to just do it! That’s the problem, having the will.
Raw materials.
Which ones are we lacking Bob? For awhile we were a leading exporter of energy like oil and natural gas. We could be again. Stop pushing electric cars and we reduce the need for lithium. We have some of the biggest copper mines in the world. Moly, iron, gold all are mined in the USA. With our energy reserves we can afford to buy the rare earths we don’t have. We also have massive coal reserves. Instead of fighting against mining our own resources we could “drill baby drill”. It takes the will to just do it. We can but will we?
