Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Tries to Put Americans at Ease About the Economy

Treasure Secretary Scott Bessent went on NBC's "Meet the Press" with Kristen Welker to discuss the economy.

“I’ve been in the investment business for 35 years, and I can tell you that corrections are healthy. They’re normal,” he said. “What’s not healthy is straight up, that you get these euphoric markets. That’s how you get a financial crisis. It would have been much healthier if someone had put the brakes on in ’06, ’07. We wouldn’t have had the problems in ’08.”
