So old thinking...maybe okay before American Corporations (not the government) decided back starting the 80's to outsource manufacturing...then engineering/design...then whole product line design/engineering/production/etc...but not America has lost the ability to manufacture most of the basic materials/components/sub-systems/systems/etc...therefore dependent on our 'supply chain'...which is from offshore where 'we' outsourced it to...

Since 'they' are manufacturing most of our materials/components/sub-systems/systems/etc...'they' are now R&D'ing more and better than we can here in America

Don't blame our government...blame our corporate management, and they only did this both for personal greed and the stock market that kills the share price by dollars if corporations miss the 'target' by penny's

There really are no long any borders with regard to manufacturing/products/etc...

But this is not an absolute...there are 'some' manufacturing here in America and it is starting to grow in the cottage industry level

There is plenty of blame to go around but the government deserves the greatest share. From imposing costs on American manufacturing through well meaning social legislation without tariff protection from unregulated foreign competition to overly complicated taxes and regulations our government has very actively run manufacturing out of this country.
