Bessent Calls Out Media for Hiding Economic Crisis Until Trump Took Office

From PJ Media, by Columnist Catherine Salgado, 2 March 2025, 1:45 PM.

Here is the lede plus two:

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent started off his CBS News interview Sunday by ripping leftist media — including CBS — for pretending Joe Biden’s horrible economy was great until he left office.

As We the People picked up extra jobs or lost jobs, as we struggled to pay bills and saw inflation eat up our savings, mainstream media swore we were fools who didn’t appreciate a booming economy. But as soon as Donald Trump took office and inherited Biden-Harris’s economic morass, the media began screeching hysterically about egg prices and insurance costs. As Bessent said, these stooges are total hypocrites.

Addressing the ever insidious “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan, who expressed concern about prices and economic backsliding, Bessent said, “You know, Margaret, what I find interesting is, for the past year and a half, and during the campaign, most of the media said, Oh, the economy is great. It's just a vibe session. Now that President Trump's in office, there's an economic problem. And I'll tell you what the problem was–”

Why, yes, it is Moderator Margaret Brennan, of CBS Face the Nation, one more time.  She comes across as an apologist for the AutoPen Administration.  In this case she is covering for that Administrations sad economic policies.

President Trump may have thought that he was going to turn the economy around on day one, just by his personality and promise to Make America Great Again.  It didn't happen.  The economic drag of the previous Administration has held us back.

But, I am optomistic that the economy is sound and with the efforts of the current Adminiistration to provide more energy and to reduce regulations thihngs will free up and the economy will forge ahead. Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
