Tax and tariff are not the same. We tax all imports as well. We also have tariffs.
If the bar for good policy is "functioning," then you have a really low bar.

A VAT is not a tariff. All U.S. exports to say Europe are subject to VAT. This is not a tariff, it's a tax. Trump confused the two in the debates, it's important to use the correct language so as to not make the same stupid mistake as our president.

Our trade imbalance is not beneficial. Gutting various industries on the way to our glorious service economy was/is not smart. No amount of foreign treasury bond purchases are sufficient to offset that loss.
Moreover, some industries, like steel and aluminum, should be treated as strategic assets. Not accounting for perilous situations is dangerously irresponsible.
