Can I use this same argument to avoid paying my taxes because I spent all my income and didn’t set anything aside? No. Then?
Trump tariffs: Customs and Border Protection tells judge it can't comply with refund order of ~ $166 Billion
If that is the case, if people are not jailed for contempt of court, it shows what the tariffs were really for. Enriching the politicians and the 1%, which is all the US Gov. is for these days.
CIT Judge Eaton: “Customs knows how to do this,” Eaton said during a court hearing on Wednesday. “They do it every day. They liquidate entries and make refunds.”
The court should just call the bluff by passing an order "Every CBP official and their hierarchy up to the President will be fined $1 million/day until the tariffs have been refunded."
This is going to be such a continued mess. Refund it to the companies that paid the tariffs, it's quite the windfall. Consumer refunds ain't gonna happen. Economically, under usual times, the best thing to do with it would be to pay off some national debt with it, the deficit is out of control. But with $38T of debt, nothing really makes a dent.
Tough. They gotta pay it. Send an email to the treasury and pull from the billions stolen from importers and pay it back. Can I use this same argument to avoid paying my taxes because I spent all my income and didn’t set anything aside? No. Then?

They say they're going to comply with the order, but they want 45 days to develop the required software changes and processes.
