One of the most prolific posters on this forum pontificates about economics all of the time.  And he has a 19th Century Russian studies degree.

You have secretary's of defense that never served in the military.  You transpiration head that never worked in Transportion.  

ANd Bessent seems to have been very successful in his career.

On Thursday, Karoline Leavitt, Trump-Vance transition spokeswoman said in statement: "This report corroborates what Mr. Hegseth's attorneys have said all along: the incident was fully investigated, and no charges were filed because police found the allegations to be false. Pete Hegseth is a highly-respected Combat Veteran who will honorably serve our country when he is confirmed as the next Secretary of Defense, just like he honorably served our country on the battlefield in uniform."

AND:

Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine M. Pacioni said in a statement to NPR that her office declined to pursue the case in early 2018, after determining that "No charges were supported by proof beyond a reasonable doubt."

It is not unusual for you to attack and lie about those who have served and deployed.  Things you did not have the courage to do.

PS @Blackvegetable  

Scott Bessent's current net worthies around 600 million.

Hi hedge Fund, Bessent Capital, was worth over 1 billion when closed it in 2005.

You say something about always being right....oh, wait, that's embarrassing.

Shut the **** up.

Bessent left SFM in 2015 to launch Key Square Group, a hedge fund named after a spot on the chessboard, with Michael Germino, who had been the global head of capital markets at SFM. It received a $2 billion anchor investment from George Soros.[22][29][30][31][32] Key Square uses geopolitics and economics to make macro investments.[11][33] Its main fund returned 13% in 2016 but declined or broke even every year from 2017 to 2021 before making major gains in 2021, 2022 and 2023. The inconsistent track record scared away clients. Assets under management shrank from $5.1 billion in 2017[33][34] to $577 million in 2023 and the number of institutional investors declined from 180 to 20 over the same period. It earned "double digits" percentagewise in 2024.

Shut the **** up:

After resigning from SFM in 2000, Bessent founded a $1 billion hedge fund, Bessent Capital.[8][25] The fund closed in 2005.

Have democrats axed their fellow senators to resign for showing up drunk to their job?
