YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRep. Thompson put Scott Bessent on the spot in a way Republican officials rarely are. Every major nonpartisan economic institution — the CBO, JCT, Yale, Penn Wharton Budget Model, Bipartisan Policy Center — all agree the GOP budget will add trillions to the national debt and strip healthcare and nutrition benefits from millions. Yet Bessent continues to insist that the numbers are wrong, the experts are wrong, and the warnings don’t matter.
So Thompson asked the only question that cuts through the political spin: name one independent expert who says this bill won’t explode the deficit. Bessent’s answer? A single supply-side ideologue whose projections have been repeatedly discredited.
This hearing exposes what’s really happening: Republicans are once again pushing massive tax cuts for the wealthy, ignoring every credible economist, and pretending that the math will magically work out. Thompson calls it what it is — bad policy, bad economics, and a catastrophic burden for America’s future.
