General Discussion

and I do not believe it is as easy as some on the news are saying.

1) We're probably talking about tens of thousands of importers, wholesalers, and retailers.

2) The ideal goal would be to split the rebates equitably between the above entities and the public.

3) How do you pin down price increases on perhaps hundreds of thousands of items between tens of thousands of retailers and wholesalers? How much of the tariffs were absorbed by said retailers and wholesalers, and how much were passed on as price increases?

4) What about the unsold items that are still remaining in inventory?

5) Where is the manpower to analyze and administer these rebates?

6) I don't think this can realistically be resolved in a perfectly fair manner. I think the best that can be done is to rebate the importers and business entities x% of the tariffs that were paid, with 100% minus x% being returned via a check to every person in the country.

Trump fucked things up impressively well.
