Businesses are getting tariff refunds. Why aren't consumers getting their cut?
📍 Where it landed
The coverage showed that retailers and large firms were cashing billions in tariff refunds while most said they would not pass those savings on to shoppers, prompting consumers to look to Congress for relief. The articles highlighted legal uncertainty and taxpayer costs but did not report any concrete steps toward sharing the refunds with consumers, and the story quieted without a definitive resolution.
