Only problem is that the govt is so much bigger today that tariffs alone could never fund the current govt. Yes, the Federal Government is way too big now, but even if we managed to cut it by 50% (lol), we still couldn't use tariffs alone.
Unless government spending were very low, printing wouldn't be sufficient to fund the government without runaway inflation. Some of the others I mentioned will be necessary if spending levels are kept up, and it's probably even harder to lower spending than change taxing.

I personally wouldn't advocate for hyperinflation right now because an actual collapse like that would be rough for all of us even if the long-term consequences were good, but I'd like to see moderately high inflation now to reduce debt levels
