Most American made

100% on national defense. I'm not sure about pharma. I guess it depends on who and what. China can make placebos if they want...
 
What would that encompass?
My short answer (take notice that it’s 2300 hrs) would be that things purchased with tax dollars needs to be kept in country. If private insurance wants to outsource, that’s on them as long as it’s reasonably feasible timeframe.

Do you think that certain items should solely be made in the US that deal with national defense and certain pharmaceuticals?

in the early 70’s my cousin bought a VW microbus. My dad asked him where he’d get parts if we got in another war with Germany. Seems silly now but we’d been in 2 wars with them in my dad’s lifetime. We act now like there will never be another war like those(like we didn’t think we’d all be quarantined lol) but that’s a little naive.

Were just greedy stupid

Not just corporations, workers too. When we have minimum wage workers demanding 3x their worth and full benefits to do an entry level job that should never be a career, corporations have to look elsewhere for labor. When we have unions who then organize those people against the corporations to demand benefit packages beyond their replacement worth it drives prices even higher.
