To build a U.S. Naval ship it takes:
1. Seel mills (assuming that we still have such things after 30 years of Republican free trade policies).
2. Electrical wiring factories (assuming that we still have such things after 30 years of Republican free trade policies).
3. Plumbing pipe factories (assuming that we still have such things after 30 years of Republican free trade policies).
4. Fire retardant factories (assuming that we still have such things after 30 years of Republican free trade policies).
5. Computer factories (assuming that we still have such things after 30 years of Republican free trade policies).
So building a U.S. Navy ship is an economic stimulus package- assuming that we still have the manufacturing capacity to build a ship after 30 years of Republican free trade policies.
