If the war ended today and the Strait of Hormuz freely opened to shipping traffic tomorrow, it could still be 6 months to a year before we see significant relief at the pumps. The supply lines need to straighten out, infrastructure rebuilt, refineries rebuilt, shipping insurance costs absorbed and lowered - it's not just going to be a flip of the switch. Same with our goods imports, retail and manufacturing costs, imports and exports. The effects of the tariffs are already in those supply chains and will take months to be absorbed and passed through even if the tariffs end today. Despite the wins in Congress, Trump is still president for two more years. And he has the Supreme Court. Many of our international trading partners may not be ready to trust us again yet. The Dems certainly need to get a plan together. I like what Jeffries has already been working on. They need to also get ahead on messaging and inform the country of what reality is going to look like for a good while yet.
