STFU American peons - you DON'T know how good you have it

[malaise]

Scott Bessent.

The American people don't know how good they have it. Now, Democrats created scarcity, whether it was in energy or over regulation, that we are now seeing the- this. affordability problem, and I think next year we're going to move on to prosperity.

That is all

1. In other words, you have no idea how bad it's going to be.

I feel like the economy is a boat on a river that's heading inevitably for the falls.

3. We will not go over the falls...

Hegseth will blow it up before we get there

13. Wait until the "magnificant seven" collapse, followed by another financial crises.

1972 all over again. The Nifty 50. Great companies but grossly overvalued until they weren't overvalued anymore. The Mag 7 are great companies too, just caught up in an AI bubble and an incestuous financing model.

7. Is he the same guy who said his mother wouldn't even notice if she didn't get her social security?

These people just love to telegraph how completely out of touch they are, don't they? And we should ridicule the bejeezus out of them for it too.

[not fooled]

9. I think that was Nutlick

another economic goon in this regime. And former next-door neighbor of Epstein in NY.

8. Bessent...

... like every other Republican Satan ever defecated, would lie to his dying mother for idle amusement. He is congenitally incapable of discerning the truth, let alone telling it.

It will be gratifying to see his evil ass splattered all over the landscape. Figuratively speaking, of course.

10. Considering that repugs have both houses of Congress, the WH, and the Supreme Court, it is pathetic that repugs

are blaming democrats for everything that's wrong under the Sun.

Pathetic, isn't it? They can't accept blame for a single damn thing.

11. Is "next year" similar to the ridiculous cliche "two weeks?"

And then it will be "next year" and then "next year." Dude, your master has created a mess. It's only going to get worse. He's such a jackass and an uber tool.

[ProfessorGAC]

12. At Least For A While

"Next year" is only 25 days away.
Not 2 weeks, but reasonably close to that.
He might as well lie about "next year" as his whole start about scarcity & regulation was a lie after about May of '21, or 4½ years ago. That's way more than enough runway to call his statement a flat out lie.
