Emerging from economic downturns often requires a catalyst. If you're lucky it doesn't demand a war. But what could help us out in a BIG way is turning to our own industrial base to re-establish supply chains for a great deal many items we have farmed out over the last couple of decades. I'm not saying we need to ensure that barbies and toy cars need to be made here, but pretty much anything we have contemplated having a 'strategic reserve' of - we should really be capable of producing en mass within our shores. |

Yeah and that's something that needs to be addressed ASAP. We need to produce that here in the US. The fact the little sawed off pecker head over in China was threatening to withhold meds to the US, should have been a huge wakeup call.

Although, I remember once in history class in high school, and the idiot "teacher" asked, "Donger, what do you think caused WWII?" I looked up briefly, said "WWI" and went back to doodling. |

I never threatened you, it was a joke. Also last post was just me being humorous. Stop being so sensitive.
