The Congress and US government are not very slick when it comes to this. They should pass a tax on luxury autos, most of which are made in Europe.
That would help the US auto industry and steel industry, boost the dollar, and raise taxes all at the same time, and at the expense of the EU and the "wealthy."
To remind you, this legislator comes from Illinois.
The same Illinois that is famous for attracting trial lawyers and trial court shopping.
Scandals in Chicago and Illinois are popping up at breakneck pace.
Illinois just got labeled the most corrupt State.
This local legislator might be under the impression that laws are made to be circumvented should need, demand and politics so desire.
Take for example most of the thin rack servers currently being procured by the DoD. Most them them are anywhere from 30 - 100% made in the PRC. Of course the industries selling such servers to the DoD, and, sort of not telling the DoD about their supply chains, do not want to be forced to both tell about the supply chains and change them to either US or true US allied ones.
What a radical idea. American taxes spent for the benefit of Americans. This just has to make the "free traders at all cost the country be damned" object with all of their might.
