Bessent is arrogant a**. His blind arrogance will and buy in to the Trump criminal enterprise will not end well for us simple folks. But the rich will waller in their ever increasing wealth taken out on the backs of the working class.

They never account for the tax cuts paying for themselves.

They keep claiming they do despite evidence to the contrary which dates back to Reagan whose tax cuts for the rich were big time budget busters. Ditto for Dubya’s and Trump’s. Reagans tax cuts and military spending nearly tripled the national debt. These are stories our media prefers to bury.

I'm surprised his lips still look relatively normal after sucking on the brain-killing carbon monoxide coming out of Trump's tailpipe.

Silly, magical thinking is the rule here!

Of course math is a liberal conspiracy, these people are total morons. Not even sure they are lying anymore. I think they just lost brain power along that greedy path they’re on.

how about ACDC style scoring

I thought DC-style scoring is a lobbyist hitting on a Secretary

Facts only matter to them if it works in their favor. Otherwise, it is a conspiracy, or a boogeyman.

It's true! Just ask Terrence Howard.

Lies upon lies upon lies

And did this dude call bullshit? I doubt it; it was on Fox Entertainment.

Grow our way out of this has replaced trickle down.

Faux news cult is ok with Smedly explaining just how this will work out. 3 years from now they will be eating moist canned cat food instead of Starkist tuna.

No, it's math.

And some folks thought this arrogant pri.. er guy would be a check on Trump.😂

You can baffle MAGA with bullshit, Bessent, but we woke folk resist your lies.

Bessent is one of those guys whose ultimate story will be fascinating in that we will find out what Trump was blackmailing him with.

Sue him as I believe he just defamed the David Corn acronym.

Disingenuous = Republican Republican = Disingenuous

That’s basically their argument.

They'll strip us to our drawers, then take them and tell us we're overdressed! A portion of the population will buy it!

Who would’ve thought that wealthy MAGA are just as cringe?

Duh. It's a science.

The problem they have with math is that math has only one right answer to any problem. There are no alternate facts. There is no discussion. There’s nobody believes this or believes that believe me. I’m a math teacher. There’s only one right answer math is not woke. It is just right.

Yeah, everyone who loves Big Brother KNOWS 2+2=5

Judging by the long pauses in the explanation, I think that even Bessent knows that this is all bs.

Grow? Can’t you see there is no chance of growth without partnerships and allies. And “you think!”? This is terrible

Right

In other words- truth has a liberal bias

so woke

Yet another version of fuzzy math. The spending bill (which is a slash and stash bill) cuts public spending while giving tax breaks to wealthy. The tariffs are already slowing growth as interest rates on debt are increasing.

[Jonah Ryan voice] THIS ISLAMIC MATH NO MORE MATH NO MORE MATH NO MORE MATH

The new thing: we're going to outgrow this debt" The old thing: "it will all trickle down"

The guy is an expert on lying. He has sold his credibility, rotten soul, and integrity (assuming that he ever had any). He would call a square a circle, if told to do so.

I guess Trump has convinced Scott Bessant that 2 + 2 = 5 He has yet learned how to cook the books like Trump had Allen Weisselberg do for his companies, but I 'm sure he will be a quick study.

Omfg we are living in idiocracy. Please make it stop.

Then let us see your math/proofs.

The Sneetches know.

Damn it. Scott Besson just learned that “mathing is hard”. Go ahead, Scottie, sell that load of BS to the American people.

At some point he’s going to glitch from the Matrix cause how does one even keep up with lies about simple math?

How long will these people continue to lie about tax cuts for the rich boosting growth so much it offsets debt? The tax cuts have a slightly *negative* impact on growth!

The economy actually shrank in the last 3 months since Trump took office.

These people just lie endlessly.

He used the “ten year scoring” scam. Republicans — Dubya, for example — have repeatedly been allowed to get away with scoring the costs of their scams, especially tax cuts for the rich by claiming that they will expire in 10 years. They and the media know that won’t happen but they all play along.

And the suckers who vote for them absorb it all.

America will "grow our way out of this by growing the economy." That might work except that Trump is doing his absolute best to crash the economy. No reasonable economist believes the economy is on solid footing – most are predicting a recession later this year.

You're doomed

There used to be plain old voodoo economics but now we have satanic economics.

He turned into a pathetic whore quickly. He was supposed to be the intelligent one.

It's a big beautiful brainwashing.

We are a week away from “math is Islamic terrorism”

Oh wait. Isn’t this the group who wants to take over and redo education so that kids learn arithmetic? Hope it’s not teaching his theory.

Facts have a liberal bias

"It be using them 'air-i-bick' numbers, so you can't trust it!" -- some redneck, somewhere

American fantasy…

Ever try cajun-style scoring? Mm-mmmm, now that's some tasty scoring!

What math is his math? It’s simple ….don’t take away healthcare and INCREASE taxes on the rich. Let the middle class have more dolls and pencils and the really wealthy may not have yachts at every single port in the world !

Grow our way out of this 🐚8647🐚

Yeah, like: 992 x 2

That's 1984...

So full of bullshit!!

sephora, the growth trajectory is going in the opposite direction of growing out of debt. With everything Trump is doing most likely we’re going to be in significant debt.

Scott B is another one who just kowtows. He loses his personal and professional credibility every time he does something like this, but somehow he doesn’t seem to mind. He’s also on the spectrum so I guess he’s going on RFK Jr‘s list?

Another way of saying if you don’t believe that one I have another

Bullshit

Alternative math facts.

They lie so effortlessly.

I loathe that mealy-mouthed, smarmy POS

So is reality.

WTAF?

Oh no, not woke math.

DC styles. Not Trump style.

As opposed to made up dumb-shit Trump numbers.

Bessent: Being a quite clever economist but an even cleverer oleaginous sycophant I prefer to lie rather than tell you the truth, which is that Don-the-Con is doing what he always does, which is borrowing with no intention to pay back.

This prick is the one using dubious assumptions not based in reality.

"Those billions of dollars in tax cuts to the uber rich? They actually LOWER the debt. It only increases the debt if it's applied to programs for the average American and poor people. Giving to the richest among us lowers the debt. It's all very simple": Every Republican ever

"It's alternative math!" -MAGA

Hi name is "Bait", Lutkin's name is "Switch". Together they are?

📌

lol. Big guberment tryn fool yous wit numbers n symbols.

It is hard to grow out of this when in recession.

Did Bessent go to college? Moronic

So are numbers !

He’s an idiot. Has no clue.

Bessent gets to throw this BS to the Maga media without challenge. We need to pay down our debts before investors lose faith en masse in US Treasuries. Trump is an economic idiot. Bessent is playing with the fire that could burn us for decades

Somebody! Make it stop!

Con man, liar

What do you expect from an office that uses ARABIC numerals?!!

Math is woke. Math is CRT. Math is DEI. I wouldn't be surprised if these clowns said any of this.

Ridiculousness

Stop lying, you weasel-tongued charlatan! The CBO's fair 𝘢𝘯𝘥 non-partisan! You've a duty to answer; behave like a man, sir, and not just a suit Donald farted in.

Math is republican kryptonite.

I'm not going to listen to him talk because I refuse to listen to these Nazis speak lies. But I would have that the journalist says "we are already at a deficit and now you want to cut taxes creating a bigger deficit. Explain how this doesn't balloon the deficit"

I've said that all my life. (My dad didn't believe me, either.)

GOP LOVES Scamming reality

Everyone who is smart and disagrees with the GOP is woke. What a mindlessly evil party they are.

Howdy Dudy is at it again.

Kelly Anne defined them, alternative facts. They have their own facts.

How did he become a millionaire

Not his money this time so no need to worry

Math is woke because only smart people can use it.

Bessent will resign soon. He is not comfortable with lying all the time. As a successful hedge fund manager who is a bond expert knows very well that we’re heading into dip shit!!!

Let's go one step further...understanding the English language is frowned upon by the trump government.

If you dont test for Covid, no confirmed cases exist. If you don't have consistency and objectivity in scoring bills, no debt exists. If you can accept denial of the 2020 election, and J6, the other self-deceptions become easy.

😂😂😂

That man is so fake. His style of speech is so disturbing.

These people have never encountered a line they would not cross. They lie with such ease.

Math is math. Even my eighth grade math teacher said this.

CBO is elitist swamp trash.

Explains why Conservatives despise education so much. The more educated one is the least likely they would vote for a GOP Nazi.

He pauses to pull 💩💩 out of his ass .

When had growing the economy ever worked to pay down the debt?

When Clinton was in office the economy was strong and we had a budget surplus that was used to pay down the debt. Dubya openly ran on destroying the surplus with tax cuts, mostly for the rich. Gore ran on continuing to pay down the debt….

…The media preferred Dubya because he was “more fun to have a beer with”. Also once the economy started bouncing back after the ‘08 crash under Obama the debt began to slowly ease. Then Trump blew it up again with tax cuts for the rich.

In other words, they're republicans and that's all they have done for 50 years. Then they blame democrats and claim that crime is out of control and old people think it's true. It's really quite something, the amount of bullshit that makes up the republicans platform.

He scares me..He's also a greed driven pushover.

And to make matters worse, they use Arabic numbers!

Algebra is an Arabic word.

I came here to say this! Commie libtard Arabic numerals can’t be trusted!

Math is a liberal concept. In MAGA world 3 + 3 = 8. Always. Unless it’s 10.
