Some of the products that will be affected by the price hikes in the retailers include items like:

    Toys,
    Electronics – this includes appliances like mobile phones, laptops and televisions,
    Clothing and footwear will be affected due to the production in China, and
    Various imported foods also fall under this list,
     Cars,
    Medicines,
    Semiconductors and
    Lumber imported
Thankfully, Walmart and Target don't sell lumber.
The abnormal is not the normal just because it is prevalent.

Manufacturing or production of those items needs to return to the U.S.  Medicine especially.

Remember back in the day that Walmart prided themselves in selling most products that were "Made in the USA"?  That needs to return.

This will not happen overnight, but eventually I think we are going to see products and manufacturing coming back to the U.S.

The cost of building houses are obviously going to go up, but I believe mortgage interest rates have come down.

Absolutely.
