    I agree. If we don’t have the capability right now, then let’s create it. I can wait to see the project completed if the end result is long-term domestic prosperity in the working classes.

    This is the type of thinking we’ve been neglecting in America, and look at the current state things… We need long-term thinking to replace short-term solutions.

      Except that everyone wants instant gratification. Short term fixes that don’t solve long term problems. This is fast-food solutions… like empty calories that don’t fill you up, you’re left wanting seconds after you finish.
