Treasury chief nominee billionaire Scott Bessent on extending trump's tax cuts:
“This is the single most important economic issue of the day. This is pass-fail. If we do not fix these tax cuts, if we do not renew and extend, then we will be facing an economic calamity, and as always, with financial instability that falls on the middle and working class.”
Pay the wealthy or the middle class suffers.
He is also against raising the federal minimum wage.
