One reason is that U.S. candy makers keep losing a fight every time the Farm Bill comes up for renewal. Zoe Chace of NPR's Planet Money team is here to explain, and begins her report from the floor of the Spangler Candy Company in Bryan, Ohio.
Some candy's still made here. Take lollipops, specifically Dum Dums.
Do you like orange?
Sure.
It's a warm orange Dum Dum.
Being in a candy factory is like being in a giant's kitchen. KitchenAids as tall as basketball hoops tower over us. Dean Spangler, the former head of the Spangler Candy Company, he shows us around.
We use about 100,000 pounds of sugar a day.
He takes us into a whole separate building, just for this one ingredient. Four huge tanks of liquid sugar, enough sugar for about four days' worth of candy. These guys make 10 million Dum Dums a day. But the current CEO, Kirk Vashaw, he has even bigger dreams. He would up production at this plant, buy the subdivision across the street. If only he just had this one thing.
I ask them to guess: What's the one thing that you need? And people guess lower tax rates, and how about workers comp reform?
He gets this laundry list of anti-regulation suggestions, but even if they got all these things put together, he says, that is not what's holding his company back.奥马巴总统的行政部门正殚精竭虑的推动美国工业复苏，然而一些产业仍然在向海外转移，这其中包括硬糖的生产。这其中的一个原因就是在Farm Bill更新后，美国的糖果制造商每年都收益欠佳。来自NPR新闻Planet Money team的Zoe Chace 为您阐述，并从Ohio Bryan的Spangler Candy Company的生产基层为您报道。
一些糖果仍然在此生产，譬如说帮帮糖，尤其是Dum Dums。
你喜欢柑橘吗？
是的。
这是个新鲜的柑橘Dum Dum。
待在一家糖果工厂的感觉就像是待在巨人的厨房。KitchenAids就像篮球筐一样远远高于我们。Spangler Candy Company的前任头儿 - Dean Spangler，带领我们参观。
我们每天使用大约100，000磅的糖。
他带我们走进了一个完全分隔开的建筑，这个建筑就是为糖这个原料而建的。4大罐液体糖，足够四天生产的量。这些家伙们每天造1千万跟Dum Dum。但是现任CEO Kirk Vashaw有更宏伟的蓝图。他讲在这个工厂里扩大生产，并且买下街对面的地皮。前提是他只有这么一件事的话。
我让他们猜：你需要一样什么东西？ 然后人们回答有更低的税率，有的说改革赠送券怎么样？
他拿到了这份长长的写着反规章制度建议的项目清单，他说，但是即使人们将上述所有事情放到了一块儿，这些事情都不能阻碍他公司的发展。
