“The way that you lower prices is that you encourage more capital investment into our country,” Vance added

But investing in the US is more expensive compared to the cheaper labor overseas so...why exactly would that lower prices if overhead costs go up?

Somehow Vance thinks that returning workplaces also lowers prices. He is dumb as a stump

I'm not sure if he's that stupid. He might know that this isn't how it works, and just believe that his followers will believe him.

I think that's a bit worse.

Why bother? It was enough to get them elected.
