Scott Bessent: ‘We Were Left with a Mess; We’re Fixing the Deficit’

EXCERPT:

BESSENT: “I came out from behind my desk and wanted to join the government to right the ship and get our fiscal house in order. We were left with a mess. It was the largest deficit when we weren't in a recession, weren't at war, and we are fixing the deficit. And there could be a discussion, but this isn't the way to have a discussion.”
