Have a single, across the board tariff for all imports regardless of origin, in place of the byzantine schedule of tariffs, quotas and trade agreements we have now. It should increase when we run a trade deficit, and decrease when we run a trade surplus. According to one source we are at around 1.2%, so start there. It should not raise to much more than 6% to the achieve the balance we ran right through going from one extreme to the other.
We now know the concequences of running trade deficits in addition to running trade surpluses, it's time to find a balance. This of course will means you will have to give up your trade junkets, trade lobbyist money, currency manipulation, etc., but we the people demand truly free trade without dependency, favoritism and giving up our sovereignty.
