Joe Scarborough Rips Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent for Floating Social Security Privatization: ‘An Own Goal’

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: "This is an own goal, to put it mildly. When, again, you have this massive bill that’s already hugely unpopular, that slashes health care, I mean, for people in red-state America for, for people in rural America slashes health care there, it slashes health care in blue state America, it gives tax cuts to billionaires and IT monopolists, it slashes taxes for multinational corporations, and now the Treasury secretary says, 'It’s going to help us privatize Social Security.' I mean, you talk about touching all the third rails of American politics at the same time. They’ve just done it."
