What do you think we need to import? That's a serious question. Anything that would be too catastrophic(some precious metals coming out of other nations that have halted mining in the US that would have years lead time to get producing at proper levels) we could still pay the tax on.
It is rather telling that we are discussing a *MASSIVE* tax increase to stop corporations from moving so many jobs overseas, and you seem to be opposed while Rollo isn't.
Use tariff money to publicly fund accelerated buildup of domesticated production.
One of the reasons the US tends to be so arrogant is we do not need any other country. From arctic to tropical, desert mountains to everglades, we have it covered.

Everyone else can still play the way they have been, we'll just let you all do it without us. That's in the $45 Billion a month we can start putting back into our own economy. People love to point out the differences between the US and the other major economies, let us take our half a trillion trade deficit off the table, wipe out a huge chunk of the EU's quarter trillion trade surplus and a big old bit out of China's three quarter of a trillion surplus and see how the various markets look.
Yes, that would be us taking our ball and going home. We have a really nice court and a big family to play with
