The free market works best. The idea you proposed is a component of socialism and would lead to greater economic instability, fewer choices for consumers, inflation, and higher unemployment. Any economist can tell you that.
A better plan is to work to open markets to exports. That might mean selectively getting tough for short periods of time with countries that are not playing fair, but the free market is the only way to get out of the mess we’re in.
