In the history of State of the Union Speeches in the polling age, the average impact has been negligible.

Perhaps the biggest surprise from Friday's historic Supreme Court ruling striking down President Trump's “Liberation Day” tariffs, is that there really weren't any surprises.

Today's Top Stories - February 23rd

According to Yale's Budget Lab: Before the IEEPA tariffs were struck down, the overall average effective tariff rate for imports was 19.6%. Immediately following the SCOTUS ruling, the rate fell to 9.1%. After the 10% across-the-board tariffs were imposed Friday night, the rate rose to the level of 13.0% for at least the next 150 days. Complicating matters, on Saturday President Trump announced the tariff rate would 15%. Adjusting for that adjustment, the net effective rate should be 14.95%. Therefore, the net effective impact in real-time is that approximately 24% of imposed tariffs were eliminated by Friday's Supreme Court ruling.

If a 45% dip wouldn't derail your life, you're probably golden. If it would? Time to call a pro and build a plan that doesn't leave you sweating bullets—or making mistakes.
