That's just the point. I worked in manufacturing management for years. The hoops we were forced to jump through to satisfy government agency's demands were almost insurmountable. It's much easier, and more profiable, to shut down a US plant and buy the product from your former competitors in Asia and continue to sell it to your customers.

It is almost impossible to open and operate a manufacturing plant in the US, follow all the government mandates and regulations, pay your taxes, provide decent pay and benefits to your workers and make a profit. It is almost impossible to do it and break even.

If you know a way to do it my hat's off to you. I sure can't figure it out

You made the guy's point for him. His point being that government regs are responsible for running jobs out of the US and we have to turn that around.

No, CNN's always been on a kick that it's evil capitalist bastards that have conspired with the Government to ship all our jobs overseas so the fat-cat CEOs can buy new yachts. It's not the Government that's doing it, it's the Corporations doing it just to chase that last dollar.

CNN's solution is to eliminate all trade altogether, and take every dollar earned overseas as a punitive measure. Force the jobs back. Which, of course, will never, EVER work.
