The reason companies invest is not because they have money.

And edit because I explained it badly:

That means that yes, getting the tariffs back can make them hire, because there may be more people wanting to buy things. Sending them the tariffs money will do absolutely nothing.

But even the first part isn't guaranteed, because you can't rollback the economy, things don't return to where they were, they go into some other place.
