The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

"Stockpile" problems?

I doubt the [former] "United" States has the manufacturing capacity to support a long, protracted war with a major adversary.

It's just... gone.
As are the skilled workers to staff such factories...

Or, for that matter, people who can be 'retrained' to produce materiel.

All those farm girls and housewives of the 30s and 40s knew how to do manual labor, even just 'keeping house' involved much more then. The renaissance of the household appliance didn't happen until the 50s.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
