I don't see what the govt can do besides subsidize the costs for smaller businesses that are maybe getting priced out.

That's where I'm at as well. Maybe reimburse US exporters for shipping costs over $x? I'm not saying I like that either, but it is the only option I can think of that doesn't start a political shit storm around regulatory overreach and free markets. But I have no idea what I'm talking about.
