I think you see it pretty well. I share your concern about US industry getting soft, but overall I think bringing back industry is a worthwhile endeavor. The jobs are good. The ability to resist supply shocks (for example an embargo, such as when China cuts rare earth access) is important for national independence. The government will be hooked on one revenue source or another, and this is probably one of the better choices.

The US has been in denial of anti-competitive tactics. This has been a problem from day #1 with China. We always get promises of otherwise, and we always get the same anti-competitive tactics, and until recently we do nothing about it.

Mexico is other problems. Getting Mexico to care about the problems has been difficult. Perhaps this will get them to care.
