Today's tariff ruling is much bigger than most people realize: If Supreme Court strikes down Trump's tariffs, the US Treasury will face a MASSIVE refund liability. This potential liability is expected to be up to $1 TRILLION to importers. Why? Because, if the Supreme Court rules the tariffs are illegal, tariff payments are considered "wrongly collected taxes." These tariffs have been applied to 150+ countries and nearly every product. Today's ruling will reshape the global economy regardless of the direction it goes. Trump says it's "life or death" for the US.

So if the US has to return tariffs, and tariffs are (allegedly) a tax on consumers, do the consumers get the money back? Or will it go bald to big business?

As per usual, the US consumer gets 🔩 after we bailed out the banks in 2008 they never issued us certificates of stocks for investing in their near death companies

And to make it better, that would be a $1 trillion tax added to the American debt

Consumers are not going to get anything back, at least not directly in cash.
Replying to @AzimuthRsrch @KobeissiLetter
depends, lots of the tariffs have been paid by small businesses, so if they get a return and can buy raw materials/products a lower prices is a good thing.

No consumers won't get it back, unless they paid the tariff when they had something imported themselves, without going through middlemen.
