I'm here to tell you that Democrat controlled Congress will NEVER support the regulatory reforms necessary for domestic manufacturing to flourish in the US. At best, they will enact protectionist legislation that will result in a modest increase in US MFG, but nothing on the order necessary to make the US a major player in the global supply chain.

Why is it so hard to explain to people that if you lead the world by continuing to discount the value of having a livable environment, that where it gets you negates any benefits reaped from getting there?
- BoiledCabbage 6y agoAnd I here to tell you that regulatory reforms won't bring back manufacturing jobs because they aren't what's stopping them. The reason items aren't manufactured in the US is due to the dollar being so strong. That's what makes American products so expensive. No regulation changes bring manufacturing back with this strong of a dollar.
