that money (if it’s paid out at all) will go to businesses who already passed all the cost of tariffs onto consumers, and taxpayers would cover this if it’s paid back so businesses are fleecing americans twice for free
trump is just a proxy for the business council, same as every president back through to eisenhower and beyond.
they knew back at the start that the cost of tariffs would be pushed onto consumers, and that eventually they would argue for refunds (which again, are paid for by consumers), all of this is done specifically to stress the system trying to trigger an economic crash…as that’s when american capitalists make their biggest gains, buying up distressed assets at a massive discount.
we have done this cycle dozens of times over by now

There’s significant gulfs between different business leaders’ political views and agendas.
So? I don’t know who invented money, but I know a lot of people that take advantage of it
I know, the system is fucked.
