The American people have paid for all the research and development on our advanced military technology, so it is only right that their companies should be able to benefit too. “Made in the U.S.A.” should become once again a respected trademark worldwide as a symbol of quantity, dependability, and simplicity. If American companies can manage to create superlative machines and materials, surely their market share will increase and profitability will follow on short order. Only mediocre technologies need to depend upon marketing and manipulation of the public to sell their products. Hitler said that, much to the consternation of all the Marxist capitalists the world around.
Much of our military technology has been lost to foreign espionage already – the Chinese have our best nuclear and rocket technologies; the rest of the world all our best space technology via the International Space Station project. We are only wasting money keeping it all ultra secret. Furthermore, the only purpose in keeping these technologies secret any longer is to ensure that the Red Chinese economy will benefit from them; and nobody else. The Chinese satellite launching operations have already practically put the American aerospace industry out of competition (we must pay for decades of research overhead; they have only to pay for espionage in stealing our technology.) Better to get what remaining value we can out of it by letting American industry use it. The military is good at creating new things; but American industry has the ingenuity and creativity to go much farther still. Too bad neither knows it, because everything is classified out of reach. So much for positive reinforcement.
With much of the existing stockpile of classified technology dispersed to industry, the military will then be free to advance our capabilities to the next level. This will spur research and development in American companies too. Our security apparatus is shot with holes already; this will give us the opportunity to start from scratch and build an impenetrable security network to keep this new generation of technology American; always. Student loans should be doubled, with options to pay them back via federal or military service or research for the Defense Department at the graduate level. Likewise, universities will be encouraged to open up as many staff positions as possible to provide students work that is convenient to their studies. Especially foreign students because they pay so much higher tuition. Then these foreign students can go home with their powerful education, and build all the technology that American can’t.
