My biggest concern about the changes in American manufacturing is that we wouldn't have the capability to produce weapons in a large scale war the way we could during WWII.
It was our manufacturing power that won the war.
Sure we're still very capable, but so is china, our most likely enemy.
On top of that - I'm not sure we have anywhere near the end to end self reliance we had during and immediately after the industrial revolution.
Go into any modern machine shop and you'll find a whole lot of non-American made machines doing the work.
What happens when those machines start breaking down and need to be modified to turn out bombs instead of gas tanks, etc etc.
If we were to isolate our country, I think we'd have a huge dip while we re-learned a lot of foundry skills, steel production skills, etc etc.
There'd be a massive drop in our abilities until we regrouped and rebuilt all those capabilities.
A dangerous soft spot for us, and china's very aware of it.
