The United States government has returned $81 billion to businesses….
…. that consumers paid for and now the business just made extra profit.
Pretty sure that was the plan all along.
I am so happy for all these poor billionaire corporations. They are finally receiving the compensation they deserve for the massive financial strain of passing tariff fees onto consumers!
Why exactly does USA has a senate when president can just behave like a dictator anyway and do whatever he pleases to further his grifting bullshit?
The whole Trump presidency showed that Congress is not working as the check on the executive it was meant to be. The US won’t survive for much longer if they don’t enact reforms after Trump is gone. I also have a feeling Trump is just gonna pardon everyone on his death bed (or at least his family) and no one is going to face any consequences for everything they did.
And they spent it all so now they have to print money to hand it back.
None of us will be getting a dollar of that money back, and we paid for it. All of it. This is an $81b windfall to corporations.
You paid for it twice: once with your own money when you bought things and the companies passed the tariff costs on to you, and once with your taxes when they refunded the tariffs to the companies.
