A comment on China Raises Tariffs on US Goods to 84% as Rift Escalates. Parent comment
Every successful tariff that I've read about through history has been:
1) Targeted on a segment.
2) Accompanied by subsidies.
3) A plan for developing competence in the segment through education and training.
Sounds a lot more like the half measure than whatever this is.
You're right in that this is a big hammer though, but that's more often used for tearing things down rather than building.
