Absolutely, tariffs absolutely increased prices. But it’s not a set amount/percentage for all goods. Many businesses probably couldn’t break down the exact “cost” of the tariffs as many prices (and tariffs) for even materials have been highly volatile.
On the otherhand business know exactly how much the government charged them. This being effectively a wealth transfer to businesses has been called out for a long time now.
This is a country that voted for tariffs and Trump. This is what we get for allowing Trump to get elected. It might suck, but people need to face the consequences of their actions.
You can’t retroactively decide tariffs should go to consumers. Businesses paid for them. Not refunding businesses would require breaking the law and the reason we’re in this mess is because people (Trump) have been ignoring the rule of law.
Sure you could have the government write a check to everyone, but I’m not really in the mood for the government to spend even more money it doesn’t have (just for a “refund”)

Stay with me for a minute. Fuck the businesses, all of them. This is a country of people and they are the harmed party.
