In turn, our export industries would be wiped out because foreign nations would no longer be able to afford our goods. The US would probably have enormous inflation.

The foreigners are not buying our stuff now due either to we don't make it anymore or it is tariff'ed by them already(other nations). So this part of your argument holds no water. The rest is ok but the economic stimulus of rebuilding our industries would be like WWII econnomically. It would be fabulous.

US exports of goods and services in 2013 were $2.3 trillion. So it was $2.77 trillion in, and $2.3 trillion out.
