"Thanks to the massively unbalanced trade that we have had with China, tens of thousands of our businesses, millions of our jobs and trillions of our dollars have left this country and gone over to China. And now China has apparently decided that there is not much gutting of our economy left to do and that it is time to let the dollar collapse. As I mentioned above, China has announced that it is going to stop stockpiling foreign-exchange reserves…

We could help them in their goal to not stockpile dollars. Raise the import tariffs, put Americans back to work, restore American industry, make America less dependent on foreign countries. And China with reduced sales to the U.S. will quickly use it's foreign exchange reserves to feed it's people.

Enacting tariffs actually takes balls, something the Free Trader lacks.

Raise the import tariffs, put Americans back to work, ...

Interesting thought when people now consider shift work at McDonalds a career and demand a 'living wage' for what should be part time employment for teenagers.

We are living on cheap imports. Would raising tariffs really make factories in the United States spring back to life or would it just destroy our purchasing power?
