Tariff Refunds, Manufacturing Money, and the Mom-and-Pop Layoff Map
from Main Street Briefing · host MainStreet Media
The CAPE tariff refund portal is live with $166 billion on the table, but small importers may not see the money — your customs broker is your fastest path. The SBA stacked a new $50 million Made in America grant pool on top of a 90% loan guarantee for manufacturers. And the smallest businesses are quietly shedding jobs, with 108,000 positions gone from sub-10-employee firms in tariff-exposed sectors. Three stories, five minutes, done.
