However, the only way to do that is to start using/ making our own stuff at home!


This is Trump's plan that some of y'all just don't understand, or don't want to understand.

quote:

clothes, wares, tools, toys, medicine, materials


Can all be manufactured in the USA

Rare earth minerals


Can get other places than China.

chips,


Trump's plan is to manufacure here. There are companies already set in motion to get this going. It's not going to happen overnight.

I actually have little issue with things like you’re buying being made in China


And I don't have issue with the things you want to see made in the US. All of those things are important things we should not rely on others for. The items I import are essentially luxury items. Life goes on with out them.

It will take years (decades?) to get rare earth mining and processing up and running in the USA.



No it won't. We are already producing.

I agree with BCreed on this one. If it was a national priority and we didn't let loons stand in the way, we would be talking a few years, not decades. For starters, mining/processing rare earths is small scale for the mining industry.

No reason to let this thread die off, so many doom and gloom posts to cherish
