Politicians, union bosses and ignorance killed our economy.

Every time a labor or environmental law or regulation was laid on one of our manufacturers their manufacturing costs went up which put them at a disadvantage to their unencumbered competitors over in those asian hell-holes.

We could have rebalanced this manufacturing cost disadvantage with import tariffs but we didn't because of paid off politicians and union bosses. China now has most of what used to be our manufacturing and we gave it to them.

But it would be far more efficient to not impose the "environmental" or labor regulations in the first place.
