Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: cheap goods not 'essence of the American Dream'

[Zafira Cherry]

Well there you go. "cheap goods not 'essence of the American Dream" Be prepared for pain going forward. You knew this was coming, Trump told you all about the "beautiful tariffs". When shoes cost you $250 a pair, tell yourself it is OK to go barefoot.


FYI: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was appointed by Trump



WASHINGTON - Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Thursday defended President Donald Trump’s assertive stance on tariffs, arguing that "access to cheap goods is not the essence of the American Dream.”

His comments come after Trump had imposed steep 25% tariffs on all goods imported from Mexico and Canada earlier this week. Trump then took executive action delaying new tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico that fell under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement for one month.

Economic experts have argued that tariffs could increase the price of American goods.

Don't worry, we haven't seen cheap goods since Jan of 2021. We forgot what they look like.

NO ONE needs a pair of Air Jordans, nor any of the thousands of overpriced items promoted by celebrities.
