Tariff money becomes part of the general fund, is not earmarked, and an be spent for ant purpose allowed under rules for general fund spending.

If you have different information Please let me know.

Definitely refunds will cost us.but businesses do have the right to their refunds which have now been declared illegal..

I think one way t refund all of us affected is to shut down ICE and to repurpose that expense to paying us.refunds.
