Instead, US senators will rail about the security risk of Chinese vehicles while refusing to provide competitive alternatives.

What do Chinese vehicles have to do with this, or the ability of US Senators to "provide" alternatives? Sorry wasn't aware that the Ford family has someone in the US Senate.

If the US Senate can't effectively set industrial policy, then they don't deserve to call themselves oligarchs.

They can and do though, and they are.

Okay fair enough, I didn't realize that that's what you meant. I agree, there should be a more coherent industrial policy that's nested with some specific national objectives. I too am very concerned about the lack of industrial capacity in this country. Feels like the lead up to WWI, in many ways.
