True, but Johnson is also very specifically querying the FDA regarding how many small business in the USA would be... out of business should the regulations remained unchanged. Remember - if you put a coil in a thing you are considered a "manufacturer" - which according to the FDA is a bad thing.
Perhaps the only thing worse than our lack of manufacturing jobs would be the FDA killing off small businesses on a grand scale that "manufacture" to sell what we do not actually manufacture. (Sorry - brain went into FDA doublespeak mode...)
The EPA and other regulations and taxes (and unions) are more responsible for business moving offshore - but the FDA doesn't help either.
