Nah, just kidding.
NYT: “As the war with Iran sends gas prices soaring, Scott Bessent, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, maintained that Americans understand the reasons behind the short-term pain — even if he could not estimate how long it would last.
Appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Bessent offered the hypothetical that “50 days of temporary, elevated prices” was a worthwhile tradeoff for “50 years of peace in the Middle East.”
Pressed on whether gas prices would indeed fall in 50 days, he continued: “I don’t know whether it’s going to be 30 days, I don’t know whether it’s going to be 50 days, I don’t know whether it’s going to be 100 days.”
If you don’t know, why say it? Because it’s a nice sounding slogan? This is war, man. Be serious!
This guy…
