Could infrastructure industrialism save America?

I believe that if America revives its industrial industry with the primary purpose of repairing America’s crumbling industry:

#1 We could create a new vocational Educational movement in America’s public schools – training and education towards architecture

#2 We could create millions of Jobs…Americas Bridges, tunnels, Roads,etc are in BAD SHAPE according to proffesional review.

#3 America could see an unprecidented rise in industry, union power and probably repair the urban/rural job market and community spirit that has been steadily due lost to outsourcing under the Bush economy.

Right now 2/3’s of America’s economy is generated by CONSUMPTION – America is not providing the amount of services it used to. Pretty soon, the only jobs in America that will be safe are civil service, automotive and engineering since America’s population is expected to grow by 100 million by 2060.

Wouldn’t it be a good idea to revive our industry? Sort of Like WW2.

This would be a good way to revive Americas economy and keep a lot of construction people in work.

I was looking at newspaper photos of the Minneapolis bridge failure and noticed a lot of rust covered with paint. To me that is like hiding a hole in a wall with toothpaste.

“you could no longer invade the mainland usa. There could be a rifle at the back of each and every blade of grass.” Attributed to Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto (Imperial jap military) I heavily doubt that particularly particularly everyone could desire to take out sufficient of our protection stress to open us as much as invasion. yet from a in common terms hypothetical point of view, our united states has maximum of weapons that it could be decidedly uncomfortable for particularly particularly everyone who tried it. on an identical time as we now no longer have capturing training and communities in each and every extreme college, there are extra advantageous than sufficient people who understand a thank you to shoot to instruct the completed united states right into a meat grinder that could desire to bleed any invader white in a rely of months. the variation between a sniper rifle and a deer rifle is minimum. And no military interior the worldwide has sufficient experienced troops to attempt to hold that plenty territory against that style of opposition for long. As for no longer being prepared, are you on crack? The French have been able to mount a surprising resistance for years. and that they had the desperate draw back of being French to preserve. in this age of on the spot communication, do you think of that particularly particularly everyone might have the skill to close down each and every thing and shop human beings from organizing some style of resistance? in need of returning the rustic to the Stone age? look at most of the recent issues our united states has long undergone. The floods interior the Mid West, the place they evacuated all by ability of themselves, and controlled to get virtually each and every person to secure practices. The wildfires in San Diego in 2007, the place they evacuated 0.5 a million human beings in below 12 hours, with no longer something numerous bulletins and a few telephone calls. you think of we can’t be prepared? something of the rustic isn’t set up like manhattan or New Orleans. we don’t all in basic terms take a seat around and look ahead to the government to come back rescue us. this is an prolonged look ahead to a custom that ain’t too probably to come back. And keep in mind, John has an prolonged moustache. John has an prolonged moustache. The chair is against the wall…

Sounds like a plan, except for the fact that we (you and I, via Wal-Mart and the like) give all the jobs to the Chinese in exchange for cheap trinkets, therefore we really don’t have the money. Were those manufacturing jobs brought back here, I’d say go on your plan.
