Comment on Delayed tariff refund could cost taxpayers $700M per month, economists warn

From the article:

“If the government were to drag out refund lawsuits until the end of the president’s term, as he recently suggested, taxpayers would owe importers about $25 billion more,” their report reads.

I’m just a simple country lawyer suburban working stiff, but this seems absolutely insane to me. These companies all passed the tariff costs onto us, the customers, yet they’re the ones getting the refunds?! That is maximum level bullshit, IMO.

Also, the assumption that The Fanta Menace is actually going to abide by a court ruling for the first time ever is hilarious. I’m pretty sure he announced a 15% global tariff when the decision was announced, and unless I missed it, no one has made him stop.
