    US Treasury Sec Scott Bessent is not worried about the stock market downturn. “Corrections are healthy,” he said. By which he means – don’t worry sheep – you will be fleeced. By the way – all you folks that Trump/Musk/GOP are forcing to retire right now are doing so into a market downturn – meaning you will start your ten year retirement with a reduced nest egg. For the past 30 years – every time the Republicans get in charge there is a recession – why does the oligarch media keep telling us Republicans are good for the economy?
