I guess the idiots that run our country know for a fact that China and Germany will be on our side in the next war.
It's strictly economics. How much more would you be willing to pay for all of your manufactured goods if they were all made here? Double? Triple? How do we protect our manufacturing base from foreigh competition? Extremely high tariffs would do it but that has a severe down side too. The countries that have raw materials we need would respond in kind. Be careful what you wish for.
