I don't see how this is going to work in today's global economy.  Seems like if we artificially inflate the price of imports it will just inflate the prices of the same items being manufactured domestically.

I'm no economist, but I imagine that tariffs pretty much just result in a higher price for consumers or the company taking there business elsewhere, providing less competition and allowing a company to charge more.

So yeah, the consumer is the one hurt most in the end I would think.
