Ross Perot on Defense


Manufacturing industry needed for self-defense

Manufacturing is vitally important for this reason: without the ability to manufacture, the US cannot defend itself. Manufacturing is important because it provides the greatest number of high-paying US jobs. These are the types of jobs that US workers need if they are to buy a house, build a retirement nest egg, and create a better future for themselves.

It is just plain wrong to think that “progress” as a nation requires shifting from a manufacturing economy to a service economy.
