Yeah.
Emerging from economic downturns often requires a catalyst. If you're lucky it doesn't demand a war.
But what could help us out in a BIG way is turning to our own industrial base to re-establish supply chains for a great deal many items we have farmed out over the last couple of decades.
I'm not saying we need to ensure that barbies and toy cars need to be made here, but pretty much anything we have contemplated having a 'strategic reserve' of - we should really be capable of producing en mass within our shores.
