One fact is inescapable: consumers will pay more for goods than they do today if this bill is enacted. I do not know how anyone can disagree with that statement. for in many instances. imported goods are lower priced than competing domestic goods. I ask the question: If I am a senior citizen on a fixed income. or I am a lowincome resident of any inner city. or I am a worker caught in todays inflationary spiral. what will happen to me if import quota restrictions remove lower cost items from store shelves? To answer my own question. my dollar would buy less than it does today. I will have to pay more for similar goods.
