The government is doing what it can to keep things expensive to insulate domestic industry from global changes. This is entirely on purpose. 266% tax on chinese steel, 25% tariff on pickup trucks, 30-50% tariffs on washing machines, 100% tariffs on electric vehicles, 50% tariffs on solar panels, etc. This isn’t even getting into the regulatory capture which prevents foreign products from being used/sold in USA.
