🚨BREAKING: $81 billion in tariffs has been refunded by the US government so far this fiscal year.
The Supreme Court ruled against Trump tariffs in February, saying he exceeded his authority under the IEEPA, a 1977 law meant for national emergencies.
Refunds have hit $81 billion this fiscal year, versus just $5 billion the year before, with total refund obligations estimated at up to $166 billion.
But that money doesn't go back to the people who actually paid for it. Costs were passed down to consumers through higher prices at checkout, while the refund checks go straight to the companies that filed for them.
It’s crazy how ordinary Americans paid the tariff, and corporations are getting the refund. $US $BANK $HYPE #TrumpMeetsOnWiderIranOffensive
