I realize that America is no longer the industrial leader of making steel and other industries, but is that because our supplies of ore are dwindling, or simply because the costs of industry are cheaper elsewhere? Suppose in the very unlikely scenario that we got involved with a major war that required our full industrial strength, like WW2 was, would we be able to heed the call, or would we be indebted to China and others like Europe was to us?
