If a car part comes in a dollar higher because of the tariff, yeah the importer of records pays that extra dollar but whoever buys that car part is going to get charged that extra dollar.

It isn't rocket science to figure out how much money GM should be refunded.

Illinois can send the invoice to the Feds and then have businesses contact the state with invoices to get their refunds.

What's stupid is believing that the illegal extra money paid out can't be refunded.
