The article discusses Senator Roger Wicker's plan to increase U.S. military spending up to 5% of GDP to counter Chinese and Russian threats, potentially benefiting economically struggling states like Mississippi. It highlights the economic growth in Mississippi, driven by projects like Amazon's $10 billion hyperscale data center in Jackson and the development of America's first 'green steel' plant near Hattiesburg, supported by 'green hydrogen'. These initiatives are positioning Mississippi as a hub for high-tech and sustainable industries. The author, Lee Rone, suggests that a high-tech military expansion proposed by Biden, focusing on AI and alternative energy, could further boost economic development in states like Mississippi. Rone envisions a revitalized American heartland with the integration of new industries, such as AI technology and hydrogen-based manufacturing, potentially reshaping the nation's economic dynamics. This bold vision is seen as a way to generate excitement among Americans, especially in regions that have felt excluded from the nation's economic growth in recent years, providing a compelling reason to support Biden's candidacy.
