#3  They may be on to something. We should form a blue-ribbon committee to study and report on the feasibility of making stuff. With the understanding, of course, that the making process would be sustainable, renewable, and carbon neutral. and would not impinge on the ancestral territory of the left-handed sea slug. And would be fully compliant with OSHA, ADEA, EPA, OFCCP, ADA, FMLA, NLRA, ERISA and the IRC. We'll be making stuff in 20 years, tops.

#2   Making money by making stuff - not PC at all!
Prosperity is far more widely spread across the country, with none of the excessive concentration of wealth in one region found in Britain. There is an emphasis on long-term growth rather than flipping assets, and boom-busts in the housing market are unknown.
