I'm no economist; but I dont think the 'stringent' environmental laws have increased the production cose by 3X; yet cost has gone up to 3X its price 10 years ago....
While I dont just blame this administration, this blows; it is crippling anyone making minimal wage or there abouts; especially outside of RI where people actually DRIVE some distance to a job...
