With the myopic focus on offshoring everything to keep costs down, the idea of strategically important industries has been completely forgotten. We can and should tool up certain industries again and maintain their presence here. Sadly, anything left from yesteryear has decayed beyond salvage at this point and anything will be a from-scratch endeavor. Even worse, I suspect a lot of people just don't understand that even now, and even if we do start this, attention will wander and things will be left to wither away again.
