spend the tax money on a strong defense.

Which can only be accomplished by maintaining the entire infrastructure necessary to support our military. Once upon a time, America was known as the arsenal of democracy. Free traitin' is transforming us from formidable arsenal into a pathetic discount retail outlet - unable to produce anything ourselves. If our suppliers don't like our national policies, they can twitch their wrist and choke our supplies.

Supplies of what, toys and underwear?

There are some military critical resource and manufacturing capabilities, of course. Selectively maintaining those could be worthwhile, but trying to distort our whole free economy to avoid using low cost labor in India and China would only cause us to eventually fall behind the rest of the world.
