We need to save our country for our kids and grandkids. Maybe we need to go the WWII mode. People want Trump to invokes the DPA and others. Maybe it's time to do that, and more.

It will take unity and a strong leader, and a lot of prayer as well, even though I know the seculars will sigh at that.
I would gladly pay 3 or more times the amount we currently pay to free ourselves from reliance to China for essential medical or military supplies and equipment!
