The only people who will benefit are the well connected. The people that paid the tariff, us, will not see a dime.

The money is in the Treasury (in theory) . . the nation has a budget deficit . . . just leave it there. The same people who paid the tariff also are responsible for the national debt.

Starting to wonder if the tariff rebate was not the ultimate scam in all this.

Illegal tariffs > buy futures > court ruling > profit!!!!
