I don't think that assessment is right. We import far more than we export, especially into countries such as China. If we charged them 25% on their US imports, all we would do is drive up the costs of most goods we buy. China, on the other hand, imports little final-sales product from us and therefore the tax would have a smaller effect on them.
Or, bring those jobs back to America and put people to work. Tariffs go up, prices go up, people stop buying, Outsourcing jobs become unattractive, Jobs come back to US.
If we "Bring those jobs back to America" the cost of production would skyrocket, leading to fewer people being employed.
Would California solve its economic problems if it was allowed to put tariffs on imports form Oregon?
What a bunch of speculative bullshit. Try again.
