Treasury Sec: Illegal Tarriffs Stole $175B From Americans

Speaking at the Economic Club of Dallas, Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent said with regard to what will now happen to the the $175 billion that Americans paid under Donald Trump's illegal tariff scheme "I got a feeling the American people won't see it." Bessent indicated that the administration has no plans to refund the money and expects the government will drag out any decision on what to do with the funds in courts for years to come.

This has me incredibly pissed

Piggy institutes OBVIOIUSLY illegal tariffs

Everyone knows they are OBVIOIUSLY illegal

Corporations pay billions in OBVIOUSLY illegal tariffs

Corporations pass along cost of OBVIOIUSLY illegal tariffs to the consumers (the OBVIOUSLY illegal tariffs have cost the average American household between $1,000 and $1,745)

Businesses sue that OBVIOUSLY illegal tariffs are illegal

Supreme Court EVENTUALLY finds OBVIOIUSLY illegal tariffs are illegal

The Piggy administration is laughing at the American consumers that they will get a refund for the OBVIOUSLY illegal tariffs

Corporations are suing to get refunds of OBVIOUSLY illegal tariffs

Corporations will likely be successful in getting refunds for OBVIOUSLY illegal tariffs

This is money stolen from you and me and passed along to corporations

Look for corporations to be realizing great profits this year, CEOs getting huge bonuses and their stocks to boom.

Thanks magat scum

Spend the $175bn towards universal healthcare for all Americans as enjoyed by the residents of Germany, Israel, Canada, Taiwan. Greenland, and tiny Albania.
