Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says Americans looking to retire aren't concerned about day-to-day markets

[flamingdem]

REALLY!!

Who knew that Dump, Peter Navaro, Scott Bessent and lunatic Lutnick
could cause this much suffering on TOP of all that Muskrat has done!

Even Eloon has turned against them! His portfolio is not doing to well..

According to Stephanie Ruhle on MSNBC Bessent wants out.

She used to work for Deutsche Bank and has insider contacts.

But along the way he's such a simpering ass. Does he think we're
that stupid? He's almost as bad as Lutnick.

1. Idiot.....

[flamingdem]

2. Bessent's stated goal is to lower the 10 year treasury

so refinancing the debt is cheaper so they save x number of billions.

Along the way they have and will destroy 10 to 30 Trillion!

3. 'Right,' just day to day GROCERIES.

[AZJonnie]

8. What an old fashioned idea, groceries?

I've read that's when people go to place called a 'supermarket', who ever heard of those? Then they 'buy food' that is taken from this 'supermarket' back to their own home and they tell me this food is called 'groceries'! Then, I dunno, their kitchen staff prepares this food, and their footmen bring it to the table? Imagine that? Here I thought the only way meals were gotten was by eating at a restaurant, on my plane, or at my private clubs. Groceries? HUH! Who knew?

15. Day to day groceries and a humble roof over my head is about all I have now. No hope though. n/t

4. the hell they aren't!

I was looking at my 401K and there’s significant value dips when the GOP was in charge. They recovered BUT this trend is not guaranteed…

5. The market isn't bulletproof, as much as some would like everyone to believe

Having people in charge that are driving it to ruin either by design or incompetence, can lead to collapse.

6. I about spit out my coffee when he said the stock market was healthy

because there was a lot of volume.

[wishstar]

7. and Lutnick said only fraudsters are concerned about their SS payments

so everyone should just shut up and take their medicine according to these cold hearted lunatics

[Meowmee]

9. Thanks for your lies and crap billionaire B

[viva la]

10. He also assured us that savings accounts

Weren't losing money. Because I guess he thinks people keep their retirement funds in a savings account?

[Midnight Writer]

11. All of us retired folks have billionaire children to support us. What, me worry?

[elocs]

12. First they came for the retired seniors who only have SS, now it's the ones who felt safe

because they had pensions and stock market investments to help them out.
Is shared pain half pain? The club is getting bigger all the time.

13. As I watch my retirement savings circling the drain,

I offer a hearty fck you! to this asswipe.

[Maeve]

14. The hell we don't! Hubby and I formally retire this fall

And we are watching very closely as our investments tank
