What percentage of that money refunded to companies will be given back to the consumers that they passed the costs onto? Hmmmmmmmmm

The total collected so far is under two hundred billion. We would have gotten more in taxes if we had just taxed the rich and they would have barely noticed it.

What happens when you preemptively comply:…. Also I hate that the courts are legislating since Congress is doing nothing. If the law was clear the tariffs would’ve never been a thing.

Trump’s Commerce Secretary Loves Tariffs. His Former Investment Bank Is Taking Bets Against Them

A subsidiary of Cantor Fitzgerald, which is run by the sons of US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick, is letting clients essentially bet that President Donald Trump’s tariffs will be struck down in court.

There are middleman companies that have been handling the tarrifs for other companies. Those middlemen are Trump's friends. The money will all go to them. It's been a big slow robbery this whole time.

Clarence Thomas's RV votes "No" on tariff refunds.

Well then I guess it's just not fucking happening then

Get Musk to pay the bill

Once again : tariffs do not help you.

I happen to know of a newly minted trillionaire whom in a just world would reasonable be asked to foot the bill

• Step 1: Tariff everybody!
• Step 2: Refund the importers.
• Step 3: Wait for the refunds to trickle down to the people who paid them...

Oh no!

Guess we’ll have to attainder Musk to make up the difference.

What would this look like in practice? I’m betting money laundering so that corporations can double dip; they passed the tariff charge onto consumers through higher prices but somehow it will be justified that the vast majority of any refunds will go to corporations because they ultimately paid the tariffs directly. So you paid the tariff indirectly that way then you’ll pay again via taxes because everyone knows they’ve pissed away whatever money was raised through this dumb shit.

If they’re smart they’ll earmark 1/4-1/3rd of it to send out $1000 refund checks. It won’t make up for what tariffs have cost the average american household (barely half, by many estimates) but it’ll be enough “free money” to convince idiot voters to come out in numbers especially if well timed
