The tariffs would be high enough to prohibit the import of these selected products. This would allow the US manufacturer to employ US citizens at some pay scale several times higher than foreign country citizens get paid. The US government could select one product at a time for prohibitive tariffs. The US government might start with steel, automobile parts, auto parts, tires, washers, dryers, refrigerators, computer chips, building materials, computers, data processors, and then other selected manufacturing industries. The USA should also repeal all free trade legislation and international trade treaties. Our consumable products will cost several times as much as they cost now, but this is necessary. When you go to anywhere in the USA to buy anything, look to see where is it made? Nothing is made in the USA anymore. When you buy $1,000.00 tools, parts, materials, etc at Home Depot, they send a large part of that purchase money in cash to probably China in order to purchase these products from the people who actually worked to manufacture these items. This is how the US dollars leave the US economy, and essentially never return, except to purchase title to our real estate, farms, agri-businesses, food supplies, dairies, forests, industries, breweries, hotels, factories, casinos, financial institutions, retail businesses, and most all of the other valuable assets located in the USA with the hard earned US dollars that they acquired my manufacturing the things that US citizens consumed, instead of exchanging their dollars for gold which the US government does not allow. The USA only makes a very few things that people in other countries want to buy in order for the US to earn some of the US currency back into the US economy and banking system, but off hand, I cannot think of one single thing foreigners would buy from the USA.
