Colin Grabow, Associate Director at the Cato Institute, and Sara Fuentes, VP for Government Affairs at the Transportation Institute, engage in a spirited debate over the Jones Act. Grabow argues that the Act inhibits U.S. growth by increasing shipping costs, while Fuentes defends it as crucial for national security and American jobs. They discuss the historical context and implications for maritime commerce, energy policy, and potential fallout from repealing the law, leaving listeners to ponder the balance between job security and transportation efficiency.
