I think we need to get rid of unnecessary regulations and tariffs that raise those costs that are ultimately passed along to the people that buy. Also, lower energy costs. Again, that's that hidden tax that I was talking about. Bad democratic energy policy, like my opponent would support in Congress, is operating as a hidden tax.
