This is why federal government should have only two roles: National Defense and Adjudication.
The devil is in the details of course which is why the Fed should be deleted and the justice system should be loser pays.
Governments must be required to earn their taxes like we earn our dollars. Wages, Salaries and Assets.
It's because TVs aren't subsidized by the government.
The reason Doritos are so expensive is because, up until recently, people on welfare could get them with SNAP, so PepsiCo could charge whatever they wanted and had no reason to care whether or not you could afford it because their primary clientele were people who were using your tax dollars to buy them. You pay more because someone else is getting it for "free", and by "free", I mean you're paying for it with your taxes.
Since the government doesn't buy TVs for people (with your money), TV manufacturers have to price competitively, hence the low TV prices.
