Exclusive: Bessent Says Trump Administration Has Conquered ‘Three I’s’ That Were ‘Eviscerating Working Americans’

The Trump administration has successfully addressed the “three I’s” that he said were devastating working-class Americans: immigration, interest rates, and inflation, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in an exclusive interview with Breitbart Business Digest co-authors Alex Marlow and John Carney released Monday.​

Bessent pointed to a March 2024 article he wrote for Fox Digital titled “How the Three I’s Are Eviscerating Working Americans” as the framework for understanding the administration’s economic progress.

“Immigration, interest rates and inflation,” Bessent said, ticking off the three factors. On immigration: “Borders closed, promise made, promise kept.”

On interest rates, Bessent noted that the 10-year Treasury yield stood at 5.08 percent when Trump took office and now sits around 4 percent. “Mortgage rates key off of that,” he said, adding that he believes short-term interest rates could decline further.

Inflation to “Bite the Dust” in Coming Months​

The Treasury Secretary expressed strong confidence about inflation trends. “I am very confident over the coming six, 12 months, we are going to see the third I bite the dust, and inflation is going to come down,” Bessent said.

He attributed falling inflation partly to lower energy prices. “Over my career, all or most big inflations start with an energy problem, and so energy goes into everything, even food prices at the grocery store,” Bessent explained. “So we’ve got that.”

Bessent previewed an upcoming study from the Council of Economic Advisers showing dramatic inflation differences between red and blue states. “The best way to get your inflation rate down 50 or 60 basis points is move from a blue state to a red state,” he said. “Red state inflation is at least half a percent lower than blue state inflation.”

Is health are a “fundamental human right?”

 
 
There were a lot of rumors yesterday that Trump was going to announce a HealthCare "policy" statement at 4pm that included basically renewing the current ACA subsidies for 1-2 years while they work on a plan (that Republican's have had 15 years to work on and haven't)

The 4pm announcement never came and it all seemed odd to those who cover the White House


here's why

Johnson Warns White House Against Extending Obamacare Subsidies​

House Speaker Mike Johnson has warned the Trump administration that House Republicans aren't gonna go for an extension of enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies - a plan which was leaked to the media before the White House backed off from announcing it yesterday.

According to the WSJ, Johnson held a Monday call with administration officials as Trump advisers were drafting a healthcare plan that would include an enhanced ACA extension for two years. Several Republicans objected to the taxpayer-funded subsidies continuing to fund healthcare plans that include abortions - a red line for many GOP lawmakers, according to the report.

The emerging White House plan would extend the subsidies temporarily, while imposing income caps for ACA enrollees to qualify, as well as measures to crack down on healthcare fraud, according to people familiar with the matter. Several Republicans want to pair the subsidy wind-down with the creation of health savings accounts, an approach Trump has praised. -WSJ

To that end, recent polling from KFF shows that nearly 75% of Americans support extending the ACA tax credit, including 50% of Republicans....

“I'd watch out for the vaccine denying HHS who's going to ruin health care in this country even more than it already is.”
“We've stolen & backed those things up so that someday they can come back to government.”

Just a note:

  • We’re still sending $40 million p/wk to the Taliban
  • Not a single high profile govt official has been arrested
  • Bill Gates, Alfred Bourla, and Mark Zuckerberg dine at the White House
  • The debt has grown 2 $Trillion in 9 months, now over $39 Trillion

I agree with JD Vance. We need to focus more on America First and less on Ukraine. Let's work more on the US economy and less on getting distracted by Ukraine. Sell Europe/Ukraine the weapons they need and stop trying to "force" any kind of war ending agreement because right now it feels like Trump is just trying to get an end of that war solely for purposes of checking off a box on his to-do list.
