On this episode Ron and Ed welcomed Colin Grabow of the CATO Institute's Herbert A. Stiefel Center for Trade Policy Studies to talk about the Jones Act (aka Merchant Marine Act of 1920) which regulates maritime commerce in U.S. waters and between U.S. ports, oh, and, makes stuff more expensive for all of us while benefitting a select few. You will learn the main reason why food and other sundry items are more expensive in Hawaii and Puerto Rico; why the Northeast US imports natural gas from Russia instead of getting it from the US; and many more insanities.

[Snarky Editor’s Note] Some day, this episode will be obsolete because Congress will take action and repeal the Jones Act. You can check if Congress has taken action by visiting HasCongressRepealedTheJonesAct.com

  • “I’m gonna go to China, and I’m gonna get these jobs from China and bring ‘em back to America. For what, so iPhones can be $9,000? Leave that job in China where it belongs … I wanna wear Nikes, I don’t wanna make those things. Stop trying to give us Chinese jobs.” —Dave Chappelle

  • Here’s probably the MOST absurd outcome due to the Jones Act: Cattle fly first class to Hawaii. Folks, I couldn’t make that up if I tried and Colin wrote a piece on it: https://www.cato.org/blog/jones-act-fleet-high-costs-limited-capabilities

  • The Jones Act was waived for 10 days after Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico. That’s the most positive development we can provide in an attempt to #EndTheJonesAct https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/28/us/jones-act-waived.html

  • So if the Jones Act is so ridiculous then why is it not being challenged? “Concentrated benefits and diffused costs.” —Colin Grabow

Segment four

Bonus Content is Available As Well
