>The industry and manufacturing you so praise got us what? The great fucking depression.
That was the banking and stock trading sectors shitting the bed you dipshit, not industry.
>The only manufacturing and industry the USA needs is the military; everything else is secondary.
Just like how an army marches on it's stomach, a war industry is reliant on a preexisting industrial base to keep the war machines built, armed, and repaired. Now where did a bunch of rich assholes send the industrial base off to in order to make more money? Is the USA gonna ask China kindly for all the things needed to make the bombs and fighter jets actively being used against them?
You are fundamentally wrong and need to be beaten with enconomics and history books.
