Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has admitted a new Trump plan to create
savings accounts for newborns is actually a backdoor way to privatize
Social Security. Bessent made the comment on Wednesday during a forum
organized by the right-wing news outlet Breitbart.Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: "I'm not sure when the distribution
level date should be, whether - should it be 30, and you can buy a
house? Should it be 60? But in a way, it is a backdoor for privatizing
Social Security."Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire responded by saying,
"They're already ripping health care away from millions on Medicaid, and
now they've made it clear that your Social Security is next."#democracy-now #social-security #scott-bessent #trump #breitbart #jeanne-shaheen
