This is going to be such a continued mess. Refund it to the companies that paid the tariffs, it's quite the windfall. Consumer refunds ain't gonna happen.
Economically, under usual times, the best thing to do with it would be to pay off some national debt with it, the deficit is out of control. But with $38T of debt, nothing really makes a dent.
Agreed. I'm hesitant to give money back to companies that have already passed the cost of tariffs on to the the consumer.
But I'm 100% against the government keeping money it took illegally.
And the court can only require that the money be refunded to those that paid the tariffs. Therefore I am ok with that.
