It is simply $130 billion going from the government's pockets back into the pockets of the businesses who paid the tariffs.

Except the pockets they came out from originally were those of consumers, through tariffs being passsed on through price increases.

Likely, businesses are going to make rather nice windfall profits while the US consumer / taxpayer has already paid / will pay once more.

If anything, that will have a positive, stimulative economic effect on the economy, albeit a very small one.

Perhaps "small" if put into relation to price increases coming due to Middle East war being waged by your leadership.
