[Terra: note about "local based economies". we can't build everything locally...cars/trains, for example.] so perhaps use the phrase "encouraging decentralization, where it makes sense to build strong local economies".]

[Terra: also...At some point, I'd like to be able to tie "national defense to strong local economies". In other words, when the American Revolutionaries went to fight the Revolutionary war, they were able to do so, because they owned enough weapons and other resources, locally...strong local economies, in the hands of private citizens. As everythign gets federalized under the control of the 1%...it's privatized, but not for the individual]
