Highlights from Senator Marshall’s op-ed include: 

“America stands at a critical crossroads. After years of crippling inflation, stagnant wages, and an economy weighed down by failed economic policies, families across the nation are struggling to make ends meet. Inflation has affected everyone, driving prices for everyday essentials such as gas, groceries, rent, and mortgages to historic highs, eliminating the American dream for millions. The message we received on Nov. 5 couldn’t be clearer: It’s time for bold leadership to turn our economy around.”

“For such a time as this, President-elect Donald Trump has chosen a strong leader for secretary of treasury with the nomination of Scott Bessent.”

“Their plan is rooted in commonsense policies. First, renewing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act: The Trump TCJA provided critical relief to families and businesses, and Bessent plans to extend these benefits while introducing new measures to further stimulate economic growth.”

“Second, revitalizing American manufacturing: Pro-growth regulatory reforms, expanded energy production, and support for domestic industries will position America as the global leader in innovation and production.”

“Third, making deals that give America the upper hand: For decades, unbalanced trade policies have gutted American industries and left workers vulnerable. Bessent will champion policies that protect American jobs and ensure fair competition in global markets.”

“Bessent has shown a dedication to rooting out waste and ensuring taxpayer dollars are used wisely; running the federal government like a business is just the forward-thinking we need as our country faces a historic debt crisis. His commitment to streamlining the federal government, saving billions, and enhancing government accountability along with the leaders of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency will be critical in his role.”

“America needs a leader who understands the challenges of everyday families and has the expertise to implement real solutions. Scott Bessent is that leader. With his proven track record, vision for economic growth, and unwavering commitment to American workers, Bessent is ready to partner with Trump to deliver the change our nation desperately needs.”
