I feel for Scott Bessent. He had a vision for the economy that on the surface sounds pretty good. Unfortunately he got tangled with the gang that authored Project 2025. Worse, he allowed himself to be drafted by The Incompetent One.

When you sleep with dogs you end up with fleas. Unless the dog is wearing a Seresto collar.

Russell Vought who authored a section of Project 2025 would like to annihilate the lower and lower middle classes. Bessent on the other hand wants to make us all successful capitalists.

Bessent almost looked ill as he stood with Trump, Hegseth and Rubio at the NATO summit in Turkey earlier this week. An aristocrat waiting for his turn at the guillotine while the rabble prattled on. Cabinet meetings must be enough to try his soul.
