Episode 153 - Jim Vinoski explains how over-regulation is the #1 problem for US manufacturing

Right on cue, all the major media outlets are chiming in on how "manufacturing jobs aren't coming back," with claims that deindustrialization is somehow just a natural and wonderful thing for a wealthy economy.

Nonsense.

Your host with the most, Jim Vinoski, takes apart the "evidence" for those claims piece by piece, and then points out the elephant in the room: it's over-regulation that has caused the problems, and radical deregulation is needed to revitalize our industrial base.

A few highlights:
Wealthy countries naturally become service economies: hogwash
Manufacturing employment naturally drops as a country modernizes: nope
Productivity improvements explain all losses of US manufacturing jobs: uh-uh

Tune in for the whole priceless education!
