9. Let's say $376B has been raised in tariffs*

The number of US households is about 134M. That's works out to about $2,800 per household. That could be returned as a rebate to each household. Distributing it directly to each household would avoid years of litigation and legal fees, and complex mechanisms in administration of a more complicated scheme, plus most people could really use the money right about now.
