Because of the Korean free trade agreement, South Koreans who want Oregon blueberries are gonna see their prices go down because we will be getting rid of a 45 percent tariff on this Oregon product.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Foreign trade clearly holds down the cost of products we buy.
Businesses are going to innovate in how they bring prices down so people can shop the way they want.
We're charging what we're worth and we don't think we're worth $22.50. We take a lower cut than Pearl Jam.
When we cut the price for bananas by 1 ruble, we sell 100 tons a day more... There are people who live within their budget.

You'll have lower prices under deregulation than you will through regulation.
Evidence points out that if you raise tariffs too much it will increase smuggling.

Prices have stayed up because people in control of supply decided they could keep them up.
