  I don’t know about the numbers you present, but absolutely agree that some industries are just worth supporting, from a government perspective. Cannot be reliant on a geopolitical enemy for goods that allow your country to continue to function.

  I think Trump losing us allies is a travesty, but there’s no guarantee during a global conflict you can get items from said allies.

  Are you saying that 10% of an economy is vital goods and the other 90% is not? Not that I have any numbers on this but 10% seems low to me.

      Could you try doing the same with the 90%? if life’s essentials are so easily paid for I am wondering what you think the rest is going to?
