56 分钟Secretary Besant, welcome back to All In.
We appreciate you taking the time to catch up with us and provide this first year in review.
We're excited to have you here and hear how things are going and what's ahead regarding the fiscal condition of the U.S.
government, the economic condition of the U.S.
economy, including how things are going for Wall Street and Main Street.
And finally, we'd like to broadly discuss some of the administration's policies,
decisions, and how they're playing out or will play out.
from your point of view.
I'll start us off and maybe to catch up on our last conversation,
one of the things that I've cared deeply about and which you shared an objective around is getting the budget deficit below 3% of GDP.
I'd love to hear from your point of view how that's going and how things are looking for fiscal year 26,
the actions that have been taken and what you think's ahead for that target.
Good to be with you.
Happy to review the year.
Talk about next year.
There's a lot going on.
I would categorize 2025.
We had some important victories, some important policy announcements, some important movement.
But as I've described it, 2025 was setting the table.
And especially on the economy, I think the feast and the banquet is going to be in 2026.
