Made in America Panel Reveals that New Ozone Regulations Could Cost America
Almost 1.5 Million Jobs
Host Neal Asbury opened his nationally syndi-
cated “Neal Asbury’s Made in America” show
on Radio America (now on 70 stations) by
thinking out loud whether Donald Trump
would be the job creator he claims he can
be. “Couldn’t be worse than what we have
now,” proposed Neal. Dr. Roffman took
exception to the comparison.
The first guest on Made in America
was Russ Eisenberg from the National Association of Manufacturers, who contended that
the new proposed ozone regulations are 10
times more onerous that any regulation ever
proposed by the government. They are so out
of bounds that our national parks wouldn’t be
in compliance.
“We would have to put license
plates on the bison,” quipped co-host Dr. Rich
Roffman.
“The National Association of Manufacturers has launched a new ad campaign
to let people know how the new regulations
will impact the nation’s manufacturers. We
would lose 1.4 million jobs and it would cost
the average family $830 in new energy and
product prices. The new regulations are so
unrealistic that 2/3 of the technologies
needed to comply aren’t even available,”
maintained Eisenberg.
Eisenberg estimated that it will cost
at least one trillion dollars to meet the new
regulations, and that it will affect every state
in the union. Most states are against the
regulations, but this doesn’t seem to phase
this administration.
Dr. Roffman suggested that the EPA
is so out of control that they are contemplating a regulation that all dishwasher manufacturers must develop models that use only 3.1
gallons of water for every complete dishwasher cycle. It would take years for manufacturers to meet this regulation and it will cost
every consumer more money for a dishwasher. This also doesn’t take into account that
the dishwasher probably won’t be able to
clean the dishes so the dishwasher will have
to recycle, using even more water.
The discussion turned to the disquieting news that Puerto Rico is following in the
footsteps of Greece, by facing bankruptcy
because pensions and entitlements are
sinking their economy.
“It’s a real tragedy. Puerto Rico’s
pension system is only 7 percent funded and
could run out of money by 2018. And the
commonwealth’s near junk-status credit
rating reflects its unsustainable pension costs,
as does the massive penalty rate it pays to
borrow money. This is resulting in an exodus
of Puerto Ricans who are coming to Florida,
which could turn Florida from a “red state” to
a purple, or even a ‘blue state,’” noted Neal.
Neal added that Illinois could be the
next domino to fall since their pension plans
are sinking that state’s economy. The worst
part is that the bailout money will come from
states that are doing everything right, but
their money will be used to bail out Illinois. It’s
like the Germans, who are doing everything
right, will have to bail out Greece.
“How can Puerto Rico go broke? It’s
unfathomable. But like Greece, it doesn’t
look like they are prepared to do anything
about it. Meanwhile, there are more people
on welfare in the U.S. than at any time in
history,” reminded Dr. Roffman.
money. Krugman has to take the blame for an
economic recovery that has grown at about
two percent. Yet, he attacked the Reagan
plan, which actually grew the economy by 7-8
percent.
“Shouldn’t the U.S. be able to grow
our economy by more than two percent?
Obama’s economic plan is not working and
he needs to be blamed for our current lack of
growth.” noted Moore, who added that it
wasn’t really that hard to “bring down
Krugman.”
The final guest on Made in America
was James Hirsen, New York Times bestselling
author, who finds it ironic that China, one of
the most repressive governments in the world,
is investing in Hollywood – the symbol of
progressive messaging.
“Even as China cracks down on all
forms of entertainment in their country, they
have become the fastest growing film market
in the world. Hollywood is lining up to get
Chinese money, even though the ownership
of most projects is owned by Chinese corporations, not U.S. companies,” according to
Hirsen, who added that the recent Hollywood
film “Southpaw,” was financed by China's
Wanda Group.
“It’s hard to understand why
Hollywood, whose values are abhorred by
Returning as a Made in America China, is willing to work with a country that

the Freedom Fest event.
On his ongoing report on cronyism,
“Krugman is the most influential
economist advising the Left, but was so Dr. Roffman found it the height of hypocrisy
