That Manufacturing Czar

After spending much time in the manufacturing sector, I have seen the unwanted rewards that formers Pres. Bush and Clinton had done with their acts of generosity (NAFTA) towards other countries. Especially, opening the flood gates from China so that those wonderful staples (JK) may flow from a country that was starving to get their goods to our markets. It seemed that these goods were generally shoved down the American "Throat" without helping our American manufacturers here survive.

My overall feeling to the Manufacturing Czar is that if he can bring back manufacturing in America, I'm all for it. But if Obama is just trying to create this job to make America feel like we're going to show up on the "Manufacturing Map" again, then no, it wasn't a very astute move.

What part of "the invisible hand" doesn't this adminstration understand? Whether called a Czar or an Oberfuhrer, their actions still involve the coercive power of the government and are inimical to the intellectual and entrepreneurial requirements of a productive enterprize. A "Manufacturing Czar" will subvert the productive energies that made this country great into politically motivated waste to satisfy the whims of government.
