I want manufacturing jobs to come back. We are transitioning to new technologies where there are not yet entrenched manufacturing dominance: it would be much easier to create jobs related to this, supplies chains related to this, market domination is still possible. We were late to the game after throwing away the early lead but we had our chance. We had investments. We had the economy finally turning. Yep, threw that away too.

We were finally turning toward indefinite energy independence. Still trying to throw that away.

All to fight the industrial battles of half a century ago, try to compete where there are no longer jobs, fight to wrest control of supply chains from entrenched leaders, compete on race to the bottom salaries
