"I can too rant here"

 I made myself a promise not to rant on my other blog other than the abortion piece about my grandson Nick and this one I can rant all I want. 
  I have heard people both conservative and liberal complain about all the jobs going overseas.  To a person the corporations are blamed.  There are many reasons but none are the fault of the corporations.  We can blame congress and the presidency for giving too much power of interpretation to bureaucrats who are tenured into power of law, much like they gave the Federal Reserve, think private large banks, the power to print money and then lend it to the US Treasury with interest.  They expect these bankers not to use the inside information for their gain.  Sure!

    Years ago they got the idea to raise the minimum wage, which few other than students in summer, made.  This in turn forced employers to raise the trained, skilled employees more thereby forcing the business to have to raise prices to turn a profit.  This in turn cost the wage earners more to live thus perpetuating the problem.

    About the same time very broad environment and safety laws were written giving more bureaucrats more power to create rules which have the force of law. 

   Admittedly in the beginning this was a good thing but the bureaucrats realized that they were working themselves out of a job so the rules got more and more restrictive on business and industry. 

    The rules got so restrictive that it is no longer profitable to mine, drill or manufacture in the US.  We saw what it did to housing.

    Oil companies are watching Cuba sell drilling rights not far off our coast and EPA will not approve drilling for our companies.   The mines have disappeared but for a few coal mines.  Rare earth, in abundance here, is being bought by our government from China.  This is used in computer chips critical to the accurate delivery of our missiles.

   About the time the EPA rules and safety rules started getting ridiculous along comes the liberals in congress offering tax breaks, grants and other incentives if they would relocate to a developing country.  I take it that this means anywhere but the USA, the EU, New Zealand and Australia.

    After forcing these huge expenses on our companies the US government lets bids for items that our own companies cannot match for the government forced encumbrances.   Aircraft are a good example along with computers etc.  

   Our current president bragged that he would make coal mining so expensive that he would shut them down. 

    The unions stood by and let this happen for they seem to be more attuned to the Communist than to working folks.  That and their leadership are no more than professional organizers whose interest is not in the worker but their own salaries.
