Probably to Trump / associates.

Not directly, but through various contractor schemes and slush accounts

If there is anything to give back it will more to figure out how to give it to the right people than the money collected. They should use whatever money there might be (if any) and put it towards our debt. I can’t imagine how large our debt is going to be at the end of this administration. The flights by Noem and Patel alone are adding millions to the debt.

In a perfect world I agree-it should go back to the companies and then to the consumers. Because ultimately consumers paid the tariffs in the way of raised pricing. Consumers will not see any of that money. The government will spend millions trying to figure out who legitimately paid the tariffs to give back millions. In light of all this I say use it in a way that is positive/beneficial to the country. I fear the current administration will spend it on something stupid like a ballroom.

Hi! I’ve started to consult a new agency, an 8 month contract ending Dec,2020.
The client is to ‘pay’ me in art plus a retainer reduced by over 60% of my standard rate (because of the painting.
Art=1 piece at the end of the contract, but only if I complete the entire contract. IF I don’t stay on/company doesn’t get off the ground or relationship doesn’t work out, he can sever the contract. He is difficult & volatile and has yet to give me a contract 1 month in. Have I agreed to a bad deal? help
