Can you tell me HOW businesses are going to make products “more affordable” in the US?
I did. Is the current regulatory/taxation regime at the federal level really tenable, compared to its abolition?

Until then, you will be paying at least 5x for pure American-made products
My US-made can opener that I bought at Walmart was $10, FTR.

I agree that regulations, including extorting business, and taxation, including tariffs, are unnecessary restrictions on freedom itself. Some think that their pet regulations and pet taxes are better than others. I think ALL regulations and taxes are bad.

“My US-made can opener that I bought at Walmart was $10, FTR.”

For every $10 of “US-made” can opener, you probably have purchased $1000 worth of can foodstuffs from China and Mexico. Am I wrong?
