Oppressive U.S. government regulations are the main thing that have been driving companies to leave the USA (and why China is making everything).
Just Trump saying he will reduced gov regulations on business has many companies saying the will come back to the USA and even the richest Bank in Japan saying they will invest in the USA 50 billion$ )BECAUSE OF TRUMP'S TALK OF DEREGUATION.
Drastically reducing government regulations on businesses is a very conservative political idea.
Many have told us that Trump is not conservative . Yet in the past 30 years no supposed conservative (Canadian or otherwise) politician has ever proposed reducing government regulations ( if they have then show me the bill that they or He the Canadian wrote ok?)
In fact the only other politician other than Trump to even try deregulating some industries was Ronald Reagan( But even Reagan didn't deregulate manufacturing as Japan really kicked the USA ‘s in the 1980’s and even now Most best selling cars are Japanese cars Toyota , Honda, Nissan etc. and even some TV’s like Sony Hitachi Japan still has the best technology ). Trump was warning even then in the 1980's about Japan's practices.
“(and why China is making everything)”
Read somewhere yesterday that even China is losing it’s edge in labor costs; it’s citizens are demanding more wages and better financial security. You’re right...it’s mostly about the regulations. The top 2 reasons coming out of all these CEO’s are taxes and regulations.
I pretty sure the average American could not get their head around the high costs of runaway regulations on a business. They could not relate to it in real dollar terms. Trump is giving the public an education in the relationship that businesses have to contend with.
Americans are learning, and the more we learn about what drives business and a strong economy, the more people will get mad at what has been done to them and their families over the last 8 years.
