Remarks by Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent Before the Financial Literacy and Education Commission

As prepared for deliveryGood morning, everyone. And thank you for joining us today and for your commitment to financial literacy. On the dawn of our great nation’s 250th anniversary, President Trump is unleashing a new economic Golden Age. Our Administration is committed to delivering the benefits to all citizens. We want every American to dream big, and learning to save, invest, and build wealth will unlock new opportunities as we continue to grow our economy. It is my firm belief that expanding financial literacy among our citizens will fundamentally shape future generations. Financially responsible citizens will demand financially responsible leaders. And many of them will become those leaders themselves one day. This will help put our country back on a financially sustainable path.
