Speaking to an audience at the Ronald Reagan National Economic Forum in California, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent outlines how flawed trade, financial and economic policies of the past have brought us to a critical moment where President Donald Trump needs to reset the entire system in order to protect American interests.
This is a powerful and well delivered speech certain to gain attention from those who understand the challenge. Secretary Bessent pulled no punches as he outlined how members of the audience themselves have contributed to a system that has eroded the national security of our nation state by advancing short-term interests disconnected from the American workforce and American industrial base.
The message was simple, “economic security is national security” and a failure to recognize how corporations chasing profits only contributed to the diminishment of internal American wealth. The patriotic priority must be to return economic strength to the U.S., and all Americans must benefit from renewed economic nationalism. The American system must be restored. WATCH:

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is a national treasure!
apologies, I should have read before I posted.
Scott should start a national financial 101 course for the nation. I enjoy listening to him, a true national treasure.
I hope his time as SecTreasury will continue beyond 2028, God willing.
We need his intelligence and vision
He’s a fighter for America First. He pulls the levers needed in the financial realm to enable Trump’s priorities. Operation Epic Fury is a good example of this. Trump’s cabinet moves out as a team. Rubio and Hegseth traveling overseas and securing mineral and defense deals, and Greer securing trade deals.
Finally!
Amazing support Trump has in Bessent to reset the American economic landscape. Can you imagine if Kameltoes had won the election?? God has given us a second chance. So thankful for Trump and his team! MAGA!!
Amen.
And CEO and executive pay MUST go back to where it was 45-50 years ago. The average CEO pay today is over 1,000 times what the average worker salary is. The average salary worker is also smarter than the CEO by a large margin. CEOs and executives of large corporations are put in place by people that go to the same schools, hang out at the same bars, belong to the same country clubs, etc.
The owner of a company making huge $$$ is one thing because he or she is the owner, kudos to them. But an executive? No, that’s got to stop. The country needs to get back to where only one spouse has to work and provide (I hate this class crap) a middle class life, and executive pay MUST be decreased by a huge amount.
