We can blame other countries all we want, but the reality is that America has regulated its own industry right out of here. Between the EPA, IRS, OSHA, USFWS, ACOE, and a host of other regulatory agencies it is just too difficult or expensive to do business in an environment where the regulations are constantly being changed.

Why not go to some place where the HSE department might be one guy, instead of an army, where 'human resources' is the guy who tells you to get back to work without worrying about what words he uses, and where the environmental standards don't require a complete refit of your plant to yet another, newer, higher standard as soon as the last refit to bring you into compliance with the old standard was completed.

Sure, stuff from elsewhere is cheaper, even with shipping. You think Americans can't outproduce that? Sure we can. If we get the government off our collective back.

You NAILED it.
The only real hope is to defang these out of control unelected agencies by stripping their power other than advisory.
This can be done by EO and then legislation.
If we have a president so inclined...

Bull crap. You are confusing the political cover story with the economic reality of the situation. To garner the political will of Americans Conservatives gloBULList corporations fooled them into believing that "onerous" taxes and regulations are the cause of offshoring. When the truth is they are offshoring to exploit third would labor and selling their product duty free at first world prices and pocketing the difference.

You have to want to not be fooled.
