The price of oil is coming down. That's a fact. As the government continues to roll back regulation, prices for energy will continue to decrease.There is a history that can be referenced from the last time tariffs were an issue. The observations stated did in fact happen when tariffs were last seen as an issue. If one goes back and looks up the actions/reactions from recent past tariff issues, one will see that what was stated is largely accurate.
I'll stand by the fact that the US is heading towards insolvency, and drastic measures must be taken to address the problems. Some amount of patience will be necessary as these complex issues are addressed.
At least we have functioning adults who actually understand business and economic issues navigating the process now. Scott Bessent knows what he is doing. I do think the current government leadership at a macro level knows what they are doing, and understands the complexities far more than given credit for.
Once the tax bill is passed, and business has some certainty, things should get better very quickly.
