We have a
crisis to overcome.
Trump
told attendees of the Thank You Tour in North Carolina that Americans could
achieve anything they wanted.
It
reminded me that in 1941, America united behind the war effort and increased
war production to enable us to win World War II in 1945.
When
Hitler started World War II in 1939, the US had very little military
equipment. Most of our federal dollars
went to domestic programs to mitigate the Great Recession of the 1930s. We did
have men like Eisenhower and Patton planning armored divisions.
In 1939,
the US began to produce armaments to supply the British. By the time the US
entered the war in 1941, we had even more production. After that, the US went all out and put
everybody to work on defense production. This rally of American spirit was the
last time we saw the need until now.
Our
current crisis is economic and we appear to be motivated to strengthen our
economy with the same spirit we had in 1941. Once again, we are fighting for
our survival, our economic survival.
