Robert Reich has been a doddering old man for half his life. He hasn't said anything other than socialist dogma and nobody pays attention to him other than aging boomers who smoked way too much weed when Johnson was president/

That's the exact GIF I used in response to Reich's unhinged diatribe post.

I would not cross Bessent.



He is definately 1 of Trumps best hires in his 2 terms along with Rubio. Those 2 are fun to watch when the lying arse media tries to trip them up.

Why anyone on earth would tangle with that man publicly at this point is beyond me. Bessent has left scorched earth all over DC during his reign of fire.

He can be a bitchy queen when it's dramatically appropriate, and it's a glory to behold when it warrants such a response.

I’m team Bessent, but let’s be honest here: wages for low-income workers are only rising because they must in order to keep up with inflation.


So my wages always increase at the rate of inflation, I must have missed that in economics.

There has been real wage growth under Trump for the vast majority of his term, that means wages are growing faster than inflation.

Until the government starts cutting spending, interest rates will keep going up. I don't care what tricks bessent does. That point comes quickly. Like the saying, slowly then all at once.

I would literally do the opposite of whatever Robert Reich said about anything. The only person in a policy position that was consistently more wrong than him on the issues was Tony Fauci.
