Hate to spoil the CNN mantra, but prices won't be going up.
1. Major reduction in the Corporate tax
2 Major reductions in business regulations
3. Shipping costs are much lower US internally, than from outside the US.
4 Energy costs have dropped
5. Very difficult for companies to raise prices (anytime) Prices are set by sales. When prices are hiked above current rates, sales (and income) go down.
These partisan cheerleaders who throw out empty talking points as if their personal anecdotes
must work for everyone are a hoot.

Well, here's my anecdotal counter to your funny list of imaginary things, Zeke:
1. My business tax rate has seen negligible difference from last year, even after deductions. Also, you need to hire a creative accounting firm to take full advantage - an added expense when local Joe or Suzy bookkeeper charge more reasonable fees. Hardly 'major', more like 'bullshit'.
2. Yeah, thanks, but keep your bullshit, we're all full up. The regulations? I watched that
dog and pony show too. The Orange Virus posturing, pointing at stacks of paper saying it's 1960 all over again and cutting a ribbon. I've seen drunk/high/on the spectrum people put together much, much more lucid, comprehensive presentations on their worst day than the Orange Virus does on the fly. What a total shit show he is. BTW: I've also seen zero change to regulation in my industry over the past year, so put that in your pipe and smoke it.
3. This statement is just plain devoid of meaning bullshit. First, shipping depends on geography, and geographically it's
completely logical to assume it's cheaper moving stuff
internally than
having to hop across large masses of water. Derp! The U.S. is not alone in this. This isn't much of an achievement.
Two, depends entirely upon
what you ship, now don't it, slick? That might be good for Joe Consumers getting a box of crap from Amazon delivered to their home, but I sometimes have to ship things weighing several tons
. I've only seen increases in those particular costs per the last several years.
4. Gas prices are increasing in my neck of the woods as I write this. I've seen no dramatic decrease in my energy costs (I check the bills). Increasing fuel prices
will impact shipping costs, genius. Believe it or don't, whatever. Smells like... bullshit to me, though.
5. Duh. That's just Econ 101 philosophy. The Orange Virus had nothing to do with that. Go back to sleep.
