Bessent: no new taxes

[BeneteauBum]

Treasury secretary says there are no plans for tax hike to fund the Iran war. Gee, that made me breathe a sigh of relief! We just have to pay exorbitant increases at the store and gas pump. Bessent and the rest of the cabinet are idiots……and they continue to push this pablum that everything is rosy on the American people.

I hope we don’t have to listen to this BS for another two and a half years……Orrex, help me out here.

Peace ☮️

6. Especially on Billionaires, right Bessent?

7. He also stated that there's robust funding...

for the military at current levels. Why then are they lobbying for an infusion of at least $20 billion more? If they're so concerned about funding, then use some of that confiscated tariff money or stolen Venezuelan oil profits for Pedo Don's "excursion".
