Is the article saying we should build everything here? The article says that machine tools drive manufacturing innovation, and machine tool makers sell them close to home. So if the US doesn't make machine tools, the US will fall behind in manufacturing innovation.

The article is saying that the US should desire to have advanced manufacturing. I don't think the article is saying that the US should manufacture everything.
