The economy is $18Trillion of which $1.8Trillon is imported goods and services. I am proposing a 20% consumption tax on 10% of the US economy. Not only does this tariff bring in revenue it stops the offshoring and begins the repatriation process of lost industry. Win - win.

What about the over $2T in US goods and services exports your tariffs will kill?

Where do they fit into your model?
