Why is it we suppose we cannot produce more of our own goods? Our clothes, our cars, and our food largely come from out of state.
We discard the idea of manufacturing clothing here because we suppose we cannot compete with cheap foreign labor. The corporate earning may not be as great, but a profit can still be turned. So, why not encourage more home-grown clothing manufacturing?
Cars? We don't even consider having our own automobile manufacturer because that is just too much of an undertaking. But just why is it that people in Detroit and Japan have enough resources but we don't here in Utah? We just need to decide we can do it. Never has the statement, Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right, been truer.
No, I am not at all calling for state-run businesses. Rather, we should simply encourage the wealthy of our state to open these businesses. Let's ask, prod and suggest until they step forth and do it.
