Scott Bessent details Trump’s economic agenda, including his tariff policies and goal to re-privatize the economy
Elon Musk is the greatest entrepreneur of this generation,” Bessent told FOX Business host Larry Kudlow in his first interview since joining the Trump administration. “DOGE is not going to fail. They are moving a lot of people’s cheese here in the capital, and when you hear this squawking, then some status quo interest is not happy,” he continued.
DOGE, will have “read-only access” to the government’s payment system, stressing that it is committed to safeguarding the system after the department was granted access. “At the Treasury, our payment system is not being touched,” Bessent said Wednesday. “We process 1.3 billion payments a year. There is a study being done — can we have more accountability, more accuracy, more traceability that the money is going where it is. But in terms of payments being stopped, that is happening upstream at the department level.”
Very professional separation of powers — DOGE finds it & my department will make final decision in keeping with Trump’s goals! Very hard to argue agains’t this as Bessent is approved, sworn in and making final decisions.
There are conflicting Reports on all This
I saw one that says a Court approved 2 of Musks men for accessing everything at Treasury
Then a report a Judge temporarily stopped their access pending a hearing
Now a report one of the guys resigned because he was caught with seriously racist posts on his social media
WTF is really happening ?
Lawfare aimed at Trump’s team instead of just at Trump himself………Deep State is unlikely to go down without a fight!
I cant fathom how a Treasury Employee who is authorized by the treasury Secretary can be barred from accessing information by a judge….something not right here
Many US judges are owned by the Democrat party — justice isn’t necessarily the first objective
