本周，在一场围绕特朗普政府经济政策的激烈交锋中，美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特在众议院筹款委员会听证会上遭到一名芝加哥地区民主党议员的咆哮。
伊利诺伊州民主党众议员布拉德·施耐德与其他几位民主党议员一道，在伊朗冲突期间对物价上涨表示谴责，而贝森特则一再反驳有关其政策的指责，指出拜登政府任内大宗商品价格走高。
交锋过程中，贝森特抨击由民主党掌控的伊利诺伊州通过自身经济政策导致人口外流，这番言论激怒了这名议员。
贝森特先是驳斥了施耐德的说法，此前这名民主党议员要求贝森特“纠正记录”，因为贝森特此前称伊朗冲突已经“结束”，并询问财政部长伊朗是否不再对以色列或美国盟友构成威胁，其进攻性武器是否已被摧毁。

贝森特笑着反问，这是否意味着施耐德“赞同”唐纳德·特朗普总统的观点——此前这名民主党议员列举了被批评人士嘲讽的特朗普政府的所有目标。
“除非有美国民众丧生，否则他不认为自己需要重新启动动能打击，”贝森特说道。
随着双方你来我往的交锋愈发激烈，施耐德愈发焦躁，并夺回了发言时间。
施耐德将伊朗冲突与大宗商品价格上涨联系起来，称生活成本持续上升，并指责贝森特及其上司导致此类物价飙升。
贝森特反驳称，美国财政部计算的当前核心通胀率为2.8%，接近美联储2%的目标，并调侃施耐德说：“你可以列举出涨价幅度最大的那些最贵的食品杂货。”

当施耐德回应称贝森特脱离群众，并再次重申他认为特朗普的关税政策导致其芝加哥选区选民面临大宗商品价格上涨时，贝森特笑着向他提出了解决问题的建议。
“好吧，你们民主党人应该清楚——难怪这么多人都在离开伊利诺伊州。你不如来南卡罗来纳州找我谈谈？”贝森特说道，此时施耐德继续提高嗓门，声称人们并没有离开“林肯之地”（伊利诺伊州的别称）。
“你是说伊利诺伊州没有净人口外流？”贝森特调侃道。

随后施耐德将话题转向特朗普与美国国税局就前博思艾伦汉密尔顿承包商查尔斯·利特尔约翰泄露特朗普及其他人纳税申报单一事达成的和解协议。
当施耐德愤怒地表示包括特朗普在内，没有人能“凌驾于法律之上”时，贝森特表示总统也并非“凌驾于法律之下”，并指责施耐德所在的政党“将司法系统武器化”。

“他的纳税信息绝不应该被泄露。任何纳税人的信息都不该被泄露……”施耐德开始说道，贝森特再次用他标志性的冷幽默打断了他。
“那么，议员先生，你是否愿意代表[你的政党]现在向总统道歉？”

Bessent flips script on shouting Democrat: ‘No wonder people are leaving’ his blue state

The Treasury secretary jabbed Rep Brad Schneider over Illinois’ net outbound migration during a Ways and Means hearing

NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was shouted at during a House Ways and Means Committee hearing this week by a Chicago-area Democrat amid a heated exchange over the Trump economy.
Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Ill., followed several other Democrats in condemning rising prices during the Iran conflict, while Bessent repeatedly pushed back on assertions about his policies by pointing to higher commodity prices during the Biden administration.
At one point in the exchange, Bessent slammed Schneider’s Democrat-run Illinois for driving people away through its own economic policies — a comment that incensed the lawmaker.
Bessent first jabbed at Schneider after the Democrat asked whether he wanted to “correct the record” on a prior statement about the Iran conflict being “ended,” asking the secretary whether Iran was no longer a threat to Israel or U.S. allies and whether its offensive weaponry had been destroyed.
TOP FIERY MOMENTS AS DEMOCRATS CLASH WITH TREASURY SECRETARY BESSENT IN CHAOTIC HILL HEARINGS

Bessent smiled and asked if that meant Schneider was “in agreement” with President Donald Trump — as the Democrat had listed off all the president’s goals otherwise ridiculed by critics.
“Unless an American life is lost, he does not believe that he will have to restart the kinetic attacks,” Bessent said.
Schneider became increasingly agitated and reclaimed his time as the back-and-forth grew heated.
Schneider connected the Iran conflict with increased commodities prices, saying that the cost of living is continuing to rise and blaming Bessent and his boss for overseeing such spikes.
Bessent countered that the Treasury calculated the current core inflation rate at 2.8%, close to the Federal Reserve’s 2% goal, and quipped to Schneider that “you can list off the most expensive groceries that have had the biggest price increases.”

When Schneider responded that Bessent was out of touch and reiterated that he blamed Trump tariffs for commodity spikes for his Chicago-area constituents, Bessent smiled and offered him an invitation on how to fix that.
“Well, you Democrats should know — no wonder so many people are leaving Illinois. Why don’t you come see me in South Carolina?” Bessent said, as Schneider continued in an elevated tone and claimed people were not leaving the Land of Lincoln.
“You’re saying Illinois doesn’t have net outbound migration?” Bessent quipped.

Schneider then changed the subject to Trump’s settlement with the IRS over former Booz Allen Hamilton contractor Charles Littlejohn’s leak of his and others’ tax returns.
When Schneider fumed that no one, including Trump, is “above the law,” Bessent said that the president is also not “beneath the law” and blamed Schneider’s party for “weaponizing the system.”

“His taxes should never be leaked. No taxpayer information should be leaked…” Schneider began before Bessent injected his dry humor again.
“Then, congressman, would you like to apologize to the president right now on behalf [of your party]?”
