Is the following a way to fix US trade imbalance without tariffs?

Update:

Foreign item costs $4000 whereas US made item costs $5000. US Gov pays US maker $1000/item sold to US consumers for $4000. Hence US company will increase employees by factor of 5 to meet new demand and thus increase US IRS tax revenue by enough to offset the $1000 Gov gift. Any well run company can achieve a 80% reduction in production cost ( I e 90 % learning curve) which will entirely eliminate the need for the $1000 US Gov subsidy.

NOTE: This is no countries Business except the US.
