Prices won't double, that is total speculation. How many man-hours do you think goes into a car? a TV?

It takes 30 man-hours to build a car. It takes less than 1 man-hour to build a TV.

A car Made in the USA will cost probably 8% more, a TV maybe 5% more.

“It takes 30 man-hours to build a car.”

...the the rest of the cost is materials? Somehow I doubt they pay $10/lb. for steel, glass, aluminum, copper and plastic.
