Reformed right-wing wacko. I didn't vote for Trump because I'm not stupid.

Just read it. Bessent wrote Warren a letter
DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
WASHINGTON, D.C.
October 9, 2026
The Honorable Elizabeth Warren
United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510
Dear Senator Warren:
Thave received your October 7 letter, which adds to the mounting body of evidence of your complete paucity of knowledge about financial markets. Rather than take my suggestion of studying introductory economics, you have continued your letter-writing crusade and participation in tabloid fodder about the Treasury Department.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to treat your concerns as sincere. As the federal funds rate climbed from near zero to its highest level in 22 years, with inflation hitting a 40-year high, you were a cheerleader for the Biden Administration's reckless spending. You blamed the economic consequences on the Federal Reserve, rather than your own irresponsible fiscal policies. Your view of the economy depends on who occupies the White House, but your woeful understanding of the issues is consistent.
The "interventions" you describe as "unprecedented" have been underway since May 2024. The buyback program has been well received by market participants in bolstering Treasury liquidity, which reduces market volatility, increases the convenience yield of Treasury securities and ensures the best value for the taxpayer. The continued enhancements optimize Treasury market liquidity in primary and secondary markets. The U.S. Treasury market's liquidity and performance versus global peers is evidence.
While you voted for a $5 trillion tax hike on everyday Americans, the Working Families Tax Cuts continue to deliver for families and workers across the country. The average refund this filing season was over $3,400, an increase of 11 percent over the previous year. More than 30 million workers claimed No Tax on Overtime, more than 7 million claimed No Tax on Tips, and more than 37 million seniors claimed their enhanced deduction. More than 34 million families claimed the permanently enhanced Child Tax Credit, and …These results are made possible by the employees of the Department of the Treasury, who are working around the clock for the American people. Unsurprisingly, you have responded by criticizing their dedication and aptitude for the job in a recent interview.' Despite your malign characterization, the Domestic Finance team you alluded to in your interview is fully staffed relative to historical levels. It is ironic that you have voted against every presidential appointee for a position at Treasury, no matter how impressive the qualifications for the role. Given your newfound interest in Department personnel, I challenge you to reverse course and thoughtfully engage with future nominees and support their confirmation.
Finally, my offer of a Foreign Exchange for Dummies tutorial still stands and if you receive a passing grade on the Yale metric, not the Harvard curve, I would be happy to also include a Fixed Income for Dummies.
Sincerely,
Aver Bout
Happy Indigenous Peoples'
Say in advance to you and your family.

NHS faces exodus of ADHD and autism services staff to private clinics. Low wages have caused brain drain, loss of skilled staff. Part of privatisation of the NHS by stealth. Private sector picks up NHS contracts, profiteers, higher cost to public purse, increases NHS queues.

Lifting oil sanctions on Russia to fix fuel prices means we are directly funding the bullets and bombs killing people in Ukraine. Trading our basic human morals for cheaper gas makes us complicit in global terror. This is buying short-term economic relief with blood money.

📌Greg Abbott received a $7.4 million dollar judgement in 1985 when a tree fell on him putting him in a wheelchair. When he later ran for office, he was instrumental in passing tort reform laws capping insurance payouts for victims of accidents like his at $750,000. Enough of these horrible people.

The only thing Lindsey Graham got almost right is when he called Trump a "demagogue of the greatest proportion" and an "utter disaster" who would "destroy the Republican Party and conservatism". It should read .. who would “destroy America”. I hope he and Rush are having fun as snuggle buddies.

(The)Haugeseth is setting a precedent for his own crimes by mercilessly executing "fish in a barrel". I'm hoping my investment in rope stock pays off, and may big trees be our witness. Trumpollini is his Dark Sith Lord. We are about to witness the malice and depravity of a theocratic fascist.

This time Democrats must get it right, and there must be sufficient Republican support in the Senate willing to join the vote to convict. Anything less and American democracy is doomed. We have already seen how Trump behaved in his first term. It has too often been characterised as benign.
