That’s literally what China does. They choose key industries and install government officials into their boards of directors so as to watch over them. Everyone on that board knows that one disapproving vote from an installed minder is the same as 1000.

EISEN: What do you say to people who say the government taking stakes in private companies and picking winners and losers sound socialist?

BESSENT: We're not going to come in and takes stakes in non-strategic industries, but we've identified seven industries

For an admin run by a President who apparently loves show tunes, no one in it seems to have ever heard of Barbara Streisand.

Anyway, what’s that you’re talking about EVERYWHERE? The “No Kings” protest? I’ll go look that up now.

1990s had Bill Clinton, a democrat, as president (from 1993), who was the only recent president to have a budget surplus. Clinton even ended an actual war, the Bosnian War. Is that what you mean, @secscottbessent.govpeeps.us ?

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

Republicans accuse everyone of being Marxists while Bessent here agrees with Lenin. It’s projection all the way down with Republicans.

Q: What is the benefit for the US in helping Argentina?

Republicans can’t be bothered to negotiate with Democrats to stop your insurance premiums from skyrocketing—but they have no problem with Trump bailing out Argentina with $20B of your money.

So much for America First!
