Mike Steger takes less than 20-minutes to walk through a year of President Trump’s multifaceted U.S. manufacturing policy initiatives that have positioned the U.S. economy for a massive surge in growth. Steger recaps several consequential moves by President Trump and his cabinet to fundamentally change economics in the Western Hemisphere. Each point is well delivered and well presented.
Steger then overlays the economic moves with the geopolitical moves in Venezuela (oil), Cuba (communism ended), Mexico (cartels, traffickers and corruption), Canada (globalism confronted) and finally Greenland (a new consulate is created). Put together, Steger notes how all of these move’s work together with a massive surge in energy, technology and productivity to create a hemispheric powerhouse within the United States. WATCH:

remigration of 100 million to consolidate the benefits into the middle class, ie the MAGA base
It is sad that 70 percent of the country don’t see this. It’s real.
Thank you Sundance much love and appreciation for all you do God Bless
I started my apprenticeship as a Tool and Die Maker in 1979. I have seen with my own two eyes the offshoring of jobs, businesses, and products. I have had to change jobs more than once because of it. The first time was under Reagan and so yes, the dismantling of our manufacturing base has been going on for a long time.
I once questioned if we had lost a war, for the victor will dismantle the manufacturing capabilities and drain the treasury of the vanquished. Both has happened to the USA.
This nation can not flip a switch and all of the sudden have skilled craftsmen created from out of thin air. It takes many many years to build the skill set and no manufacturing facility can function without a few highly skilled craftsmen as part of the workforce.
I’m very close to retiring and I do not have the time left in the industry to train an apprentice. When I leave, a lifetime of manufacturing knowledge goes with me.
A robust apprenticeship program is truly needed and manufacturing businesses need to be incentivized in providing it.
I’m a vet and one of the benefit packages of the GI Bill was an apprenticeship program. I had an employer that took advantage of it and we both benefited from it. I have not seen it used since.
Hold on, they’re coming.
