Sue for not only the money back, but legal fees and damages. Oh boy, this is going to be a disaster and the courts are going to be clogged for years. Good job republicans, once again, well done. Outstanding work… as always. Brilliant. Just superb governing. Above and beyond idiocy.
To add, refunds are only going back to the businesses that directly paid the tariffs. But those businesses were already offsetting the costs of their goods to counterbalance them.
Outside of a few more consumers being priced out, a business playing their cards right may not have actually had too much of a hit to their bottom line under tariffs. But now, in addition to the profits they made by increasing prices to offset the tariffs, they’re going to get refunded the cost of the tariffs anyways.
So the one left holding the bag ends up being the American consumer and taxpayer, who has struggled to afford basic goods throughout Trump’s presidency, and will not see any returns from the tariffs either, as all of it comes right back out of tax revenue.
Not that the American public were likely to see any tax relief or benefit from the tariffs in the first place, mind.
