Tarriffs aren't directly a trade restriction, unless if taken in the strictest sense. Let's just say that import taxes (which level the wage differentials) aren't going to be enough to create an embargo situation. Cutting off your number one customer is serious business. The sactions to date have been more of a postering nature, and meaninful sanctions would be a hardship most if not all foreign countries wouldn't be too supportive of. How did I ever say I advocated more WTO sanctions?
If they did, it might be the tonic America needs to strengthen it's own industries, tho.
And it gets away from the point of how to pay for our defecit and become fiscally responsible without crushing taxation.
