Doesn't mean we shouldn't do it.

IIRC correctly, the previous administration did try to do some of the slow, steady imperfect work of planning to gradually bring back key industries.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIPS_and_Science_Act and https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/11/24195811/biden-ev-factory...

Of course, the voters wanted something else.
