Transcript: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan," Dec. 7, 2025

I'm still confused about this whole $1,000 investment thingy 🤔. I mean, it's not like we're talking about some fancy-schmancy private club here - it's public money for kids! If Trump is saying that Americans aren't seeing the impact of inflation, doesn't that just sound like a bunch of corporate speak to me? 😒

And can we talk about how convenient it is to say "con jobs" when you're the one making the deal? I get it, politics, but come on! 🙄 Meanwhile, I'm over here wondering what's going on with this Somali money thingy. Are we just gonna let people defraud the state and then forget about it? No thanks, not buying it 😡.

I do agree that financial literacy is super important for kids, though. If the government can get that right, maybe we can start making some real changes to how our economy works 🤑.
 
😊 I'm more concerned about the state of our finances, you know? Like, we're already struggling with inflation and yet some people think it's all good because they've got their holiday sales on track 🎁. But what about those who can't afford to celebrate or even put food on the table? 🍴

And what's up with this $1,000 investment program for kids? It sounds like a smart way to get them involved in the market, but have we thought about how it'll impact their financial decisions later on? Shouldn't they be learning about budgeting and saving first? 💸
