The ""national defense"" argument is obsolete. The conflict between
superpowers will not be decided on the basis of which country can self-
reliantly produce the most battleships and tanks. It will be won in a matter
of hours--in cyberspace, if we're lucky, with nuclear weapons if we're not.

The ""national defense"" argument is obsolete. The conflict between
superpowers will not be decided on the basis of which country can self-
reliantly produce the most battleships and tanks. It will be won in a matter
of hours--in cyberspace, if we're lucky, with nuclear weapons if we're not.
Besides, there are much better ways to support a robust middle class than by
propping up a few select industries with tariffs that hinder the rest of the
economy. We could start with a tax code that, rather than penalizing middle
income earners as the plan recently passed by Republicans does, returns the
progressive income tax on wealthier individuals and corporations to what it
was during the Reagan era. We could build on that by establishing universal
healthcare and supporting inexpensive access to higher education, measures
that would increase the financial security of families and better equip young
people to work in the tech industries that are thriving and expanding.
It also needs be said that it has been automation that has cost the majority
of manufacturing jobs in the U.S., not foreign competition. McCarthy proposes
a 19th century solution to a 21st century problem.
