I agree completely. One other aspect that often gets lost in these conversations is that manufacturing capacity is a huge part of what wins wars. The US won World War II largely because we could produce planes and ships faster than our enemies could destroy them. When we shipped our manufacturing capabilities overseas, we also undermined a key wartime advantage. It is within our national interest to have a strong industrial base. The only way I can see that happening from here is automation.
