So, once again, we see that the Democrat Party does not stand for the working American man and women, but for their allies overseas and their donors at home. Why is it that only President Trump stands for common sense and the American people?
That's all great, but unfortunately many Americans are too dependent on pharmaceutical drugs that are doing them more harm than good. We need to cut back drastically on our drug usage, perhaps 80 to 90%.
This is common sense disguised as policy. You don’t outsource essentials and call it efficiency—you call it dependency. Medicines aren’t luxury goods; they’re lifelines. If you can’t produce them at home, you’re betting your health system on global stability that doesn’t exist anymore. The shift to onshoring isn’t protectionism—it’s a survival strategy. Yes, it may cost more in the short term. But the alternative is far worse: shortages, delays, and loss of control when it matters most. National security doesn’t start at the border—it starts in your supply chains. And if those chains aren’t yours, neither is the security.
Adam Smith was all for tariffs to protect a nation’s essential industries, but this part of his thinking is ignored by internationalists and Chamber of Commerce types. It’s great that our Extremely Stable Genius is making Adam Smith Great Again!
What a comprehensive plan. I lived in Kalamazoo, Michigan, during the 1960s to the early 1980s when Upjohn Company ( now Pfizer) manufactured its meds. I agree that U.S. manufacturers, especially pharmaceuticals, should be responsible for producing and controlling the quality of the end products they develop.
On a more meta level, America needs to start compensating for the massive labor realignment underway due to A.I. While the efficiencies that Peter mentioned can greatly reduce the brute force labor previously required to manufacture pharmaceuticals (or anything, really), the technology required to implement, maintain, and continuously improve the systems which provide those efficiencies will require a skilled labor force which, especially if properly incentivized, could help to absorb those replaced by A.I.
Those incentives could include subsidized training, along with tax breaks to corporations who commit to providing opportunities for displaced workers.

We need clear and free access to Naturopathic medicines and healers

Excellent and comforting. Covid taught many lessons. Hopefully learned.

The best thing that can happen to the American medicine cabinet is that it is duck-taped and nailed shut.
I would go a bit further upstream and take away doctor's prescription pads. And ban all pharmaceutical advertising the way we banned tobacco.

Again, a big thank you, Dr. Navarro.
