To me the answer is to impose the same restrictions on imports that the importing country puts on OUR products. If another country charges a 30% fee on our product, we charge 30% on their product. This in the long run would help all countries to manufacture for themselves.
As far as imports by themselves taking away our jobs, it's not all the foreign country doing it. The big shots of our companies decide to send the work over there and sell it as ther own. That to me is the cause of the collapse of the economy of the world.
Not quite accurate there! Plenty of American workers on the lines with bad attitudes and the like that really didn't and still don't fairly earn their pay and benefits package. I know of one guy who worked for Pontiac spot welding hoods and trunk lids. He thought it was a joke to skip some spot welds here and there. Turns out his brother-in-law bought one of his crafted autos (thinking if his B-I-L had a hand in the assy. then it would be a quality product) and the trunk lid did nothing but rattle constantly from vibrations. When he learned the B-I-L purposely skipped spot welds he was very upset at the least. There weren't enough of these failed Pontiacs to warrant a recall but it fell on the dealers to rectify by doping the deck with sealant like Liquid Nails.What I find disgusting about the whole thing is how the American worker is simultaneously getting the shaft and the blame for the problem. Sure, US produced cars and motorcycles were crap. Who designed then? Who cut corners? Who output products that were designed to fail? It certainly wasn’t the workers who forged and assembled the products. They were also consumers, and understandably wanted products that would last. The fault lies with the bean counters and corporate big-wigs who thought only of maximizing profit.
Then when the times comes to use customer service, you get rerouted to various departments via voice prompts and when you finally reach the proper department, the connection gets interrupted and cut off! Verizon is famous for that... very famous.

Hell, how many times do we hears the big pitch about excellent customer service coming from companies. Then when the times comes to use customer service, you get rerouted to various departments via voice prompts and when you finally reach the proper department, the connection gets interrupted and cut off! Verizon is famous for that... very famous.
so how can one put a tariff on a country when that country owns a fair share of US business's
