About this listen

 Scott Bessent, the Secretary of the Treasury, has been in the spotlight recently for his comments on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which was signed into law on July 4. The bill includes significant tax code changes, such as an increase in the State and Local Tax deduction and a bump in the Social Security income tax deduction. Bessent has expressed confidence that the bill will stimulate growth, saying it will make America "affordable again." He believes that the revenue generated from this growth will outpace any increased spending caused by the bill, thus reducing the national debt over time.

Regarding tariffs, Bessent has warned foreign nations without trade agreements by August 1 that they will face tariffs enacted in April. The administration plans to make several trade-related announcements soon, indicating ongoing efforts to negotiate trade deals.

There have also been discussions about the possibility of Bessent serving as both Treasury Secretary and Federal Reserve Chair, although this is unprecedented and would require legal adjustments. The White House has denied the rumors, but Bessent has expressed support for lowering interest rates.
