Cut the spending. Cut defense spending, cut VA Benefits.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who strives, who dares greatly, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. ~Theodore Roosevelt (April 23, 1910)

But he does have a low golf handicap.

Still, they need to start paying the U.S. for their protection.

Indeed, it was their claim to fame. Back in the ‘90s, Walmart leaned hard into the “Made in the USA” angle, and it was a big part of their public image. Sam Walton, the founder, kicked this off in the ‘80s with a campaign called “Bring It Back to America,” pushing suppliers to source domestically. By the early ‘90s, Walmart was plastering “Made in America” signs in stores, running ads with patriotic vibes, and claiming they were boosting U.S. jobs. A 1992 annual report bragged they’d added $1.5 billion in American-made goods that year alone. It wasn’t just PR fluff either—estimates from that era suggest 80-90% of their inventory was U.S.-sourced at one point, per trade journals and old news clips.

What loyal citizen doesn't believe that their country's interest should be considered a higher priority over all others?

You can start cutting defense by bringing troops home which can be done if the country is energy independent and has a strong manufacturing economy.

As far as the VA is concerned I'll let someone else take that up.

Tariffs: An Opportunity for Drug Production in the USA – RedState

Is there anyone out there anticipating a "surprise" rate cut?

I will wait for the new Tesla phone

We are protecting our interests abroad. Stopping China and Russian aggression. Fighting terrorist organization. Do you think smaller countries have the intelligence and military to do this on their own? US has always been the "policeman" of the civilized world.

There is no product or service that "must" be made/created in the USA...we are only one of many players in the world's trade economy.

In fact, most pharmaceuticals are not manufactured in the USA ...Big Pharma needs to stop advertising on TV too.

Global mfg will never relocate?????

It will if it is more profitable than manufacturing overseas.

Not to mention he's has the mental acuity to play golf.:a040:

Therein lies the rub. Would you want any important drug, you may require now or down the road, be use as an availability weapon in a dispute between countries? If I needed nitroglycerin spray, powder or tablets under my tongue, I would want access to them guaranteed.
