We have seen abysmal job growth, GDP growth south of 2%, inflation in the mid-3%, increased deficit spending and he’s losing the bond market…. again. He, statistically, is on track to go down as one of the worst Treasury Secretaries in modern memory.

You want Yellen back?

How about reaching out to Geithner so we can have the slowest recovery in US history?

I think he's a genius level guy who is carrying out some kind of insane juggling act to keep things afloat. But, I never really trusted him with the Soros background and he could be some type of trojan horse or puppet of moneyed interests.

Some people I follow are saying his juggling of the Yen is genius and will basically hollow out Japan while keeping the US chugging along, but Japan doesn't realize it

They also see Scott expanding this cash swap to other countries, allowing us to weaken them too.

The basic endgame is that the US dollar, and more specifically the digital dollar they are ushering in, will not only remain the world's primary reserve currency but will be stronger than it is now.

I think he’s one of Trump’s only decent cabinet appointments. One could argue but for Bessent, we’d be even worse off.

Got a buddy who sells bonds. He’s not happy. Look Bessent is doing a fabulous job keeping this titanic afloat. Until we raise interest rates to at least 7% inflation will keep eating away and some prices never go down. But people want free money then bitch about inflation.

I'm thinking Bassent pitches and his bf catches! We hear those stories about him getting pissed in meetings and nutting up(no pun intended). Lol
Wasn't there talk a while back about him slapping someone?
