Long term, most of today’s manufacturers use Just In Time ordering for raw materials. Manufacturers in the USA will respond by learning to keep raw materials on hand in stock, to not be at the mercy of the dock unions.
That will, in the short term, make purchasing look better...for about 18-24 months...just as Obama leaves office.

Storage causes spoilage/theft. That will increase the production costs without added benefits. This will cause buyers to seek cheaper products made out of country.
That will cause factories to close, and stores to close, because without manufacturing, they will have less to sell.
