I'm a conservative and Anti monopolist. As such I agree with Robert Reich of all people on antitrust action. But my focus is on citizen response to inflation. My argument goes like this, deficit spending by government leads to inflation. Inflation motivates the consuming public to seek less expensive goods while trying to maintain their standard of living. This motivation leads us to buy from China and other countries where labor, raw material, and energy costs are lower (plus help from Amazon). This helps grow China's economy and military, not ours.

So why is it so hard to know in advance of an online purchase, the Country of Origin. Here is a link to my answer: https://billpound.substack.com/p/congressional-gridlock-3-a-personal. This may seem like a small thing, but Congress can't agree to act on small bipartisan bills. They are worthless!
