I agree that this is a basket of things we could do to increase competition which may reduce prices, but it may also create a whole entirely new host of problems depending on what we change. Eliminating tariffs for example will almost certainly put a lot of Americans out of work who, can't really do much about it. When they don't have jobs and don't have money to pay bills or eat, they'll re enact tariffs, or... start a revolution. The main issue is that all countries in the world don't live on the same playing field. If we got rid of nation states altogether then we wouldn't need a lot of these things.
