No, it’s the firms that bought the tariff debt who are getting the refunds. These business owners sold off the obligation for pennies on the dollar to a firm which is run by one of the richest men in the country (his dad ran it before he did, I just can’t remember names) and that business will get the trillions in refunds if this occurs. This was all a gigantic grift happening right before our very eyes.
