Soccer, tariffs do work if applied and enforced correctly.

The point is to make foreign countries pay outlandish penalties to ship products, such as cars, here which of course, they pass on to the consumer

However, if done right, manufacturers suddenly realize they won't sell their product with the penalty add on so, the goal is to have them move back to this country.

Back in the 70's when so much industry fled this country, they did so to escape high corporate taxes and break unions. They couldn't do the latter, so they just left and used slave labor in countries like Mexico.

A win-win would be for manufacturers to return to the U.S. and give them tax incentives to pay good union wages again. They save money on taxes, but the country makes up that loss of revenue with higher wages of citizens.

The tariffs have to be such that the American public simply can't afford or will refuse to buy foreign goods.

Of course, I'm way older than most others here and I can remember when made in America wasn't just a political slogan, it was a reality.
