China is outpacing American shipbuilding because we’ve let our maritime industry decay for too long. The SHIPS for America Act will rebuild American shipping and shipbuilding, create good-paying jobs, and strengthen our national security.

how do you have a world-class shipbuilding industry? turns out the answer is "pay for it."
Korean, Japanese, and Chinese yards have is that they are all supported by their home governments to the tune of billions annually. You’ll also need to rebuild the industrial support those yards need (steel doesn’t exactly grow on trees), so add a zero or two to your industrial price tag.

Jones Act for drones will surely help build an domestic commercial industry right? Just like shipbuilding?
My quick and dirty thoughts on Trump's short-sighted, stupid, and self-defeating ban on foreign made drones.
Banning foreign drones won't make us safer. Instead, it'll encourage people to build their own drones - which are way harder to track and to control.
