As someone who in precisely the situation he describes, I can assure Mr. Bessent that I AM CONCERNED anout the performance of the stock market AND of the possibility of a recession. How can he be so out of touch?? This is life-altering to folks like me. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/06/t...

cnbc.comTreasury Secretary Scott Bessent says Americans looking to retire aren’t concerned about day-to-day markets, dismisses concerns about a potential recessionBessent's comments come after President Donald Trump warned that the "economic revolution" won't "be easy" in a social media post.

www.cnbc.com/2025/03/18/t... "President Trump has said there would be a “period of transition,” while the Commerce Secretary had said a recession will be “worth it” for the gains that will eventually come from the policies." Regular Americans will suffer as a consequence. That's real.

So, first the billionaires threatened to leave the USA if we taxed them. Then, they used that savings to buy the government and intend to use it as a tool to further enrich themselves. WTF? We gave them eveything they wanted and it was still not enough.

Ukraine already had a security deal with the USA. It was agreed to when they gave up the nuclear weapons that were on their soil after the fall of communist soviet union. Now we ask them to "pay up" more?

The Trump Whitehouse is claiming the meeting with Zelensky was a "win"? Unless the goal was to damage Ukraine in some way, and to advance the cause of Russia, how would this be considered a win? What the fuck is Trump even talking about? It's a big loss for this country and all we stand for..

It's strange that Trump would destroy decades of positive relations with European NATO allies, in favor of engaging with Putin. What does that tell you? It tells me Trump is looking for a buyer.
