One of the biggest challenges in the political world is that candidates cannot win unless they feed the delusion that most voters have — that they can have $35/hour wages, Walmart prices, and steep tariffs on imports … all at the same time.

I’m not sure who’s to blame- the candidates or the voters. Perhaps both need to be better educated on economic matters.

If capital were invested here in improving productivity, immigration restricted and a free internal market guaranteed by tariffs and antitrust, we could have all those things.
In fact, in some ways we did sixty years ago when a new car on average cost three month's gross wages. We gave it all up in exchange for "free trade," a bloated administrative state and mass immigration.

Wages are so pushed down the $35/hr would raised Wally World prices very much.
