Tariffs will not help, what will is time. As the economies of the developing countries grow, the cost of outsourcing there increases and will eventually lead to the jobs moving back to the US anyway. However, what we will see, I think, is the creation of manufacturing areas in all developed nations. As a consumer base is created in nations where work goes and the cost of transporting the goods increases, there will come a need to produce in each nation, what that nation consumes. So it will all balance out in the end, in the meantime the only thing that will come from placing high tariffs is that nations like China will do so on our exports making it harder to sell US made goods abroad.
