I would be for a complete embargo at this point. A brief period of pain followed by unending prosperity.

Why not increase them 500%?
**************
Increasing tariffs from 0% to 20% is already an “infinite” percentage increase , far higher than your 500% suggestion. I for one am disgusted with the quality of goods available.. even simple things like a manual can opener are available at $1 in the dollar stores and they barely work and fail almost immediately... OR you can pay $10-$15 for a “better” one that is also made in China that works acceptably for a short while... I’ve bought 2 USA made can openers at garage and estate sales that are likely 30+ years old that work wonderfully... We can compete at the current price levels with higher quality.

Because Ronald Reagan should be our new tariff template
