Week 1: Discussion Question 2

While defense industries do need to be protected again import competition there is an alternative to traditional trade restrictions.  As a compromise to trade restrictions the foreign products must be completely manufactured within the United States.  This then removes any political conflicts of interest during a time of war.  Furthermore, it removes any unfair labor and cost issues with the product being manufactured outside of the country.  Finally, it promotes competition, as well as jobs, within the local economy which would benefit everyone.
