Democrats are once again under fire for their patronizing views on the American people. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stood his ground on a Sunday morning talk show, fighting back against the all-too-common liberal narrative. When grilled about the “One Big Beautiful Bill” and its impact on Medicaid, Bessent didn’t miss a beat. He saw right through the condescending attitude, pointing out that Democrats seemingly think poor people are incapable of managing proof of work requirements. It’s disgraceful how the left consistently underestimates the intelligence and capabilities of Americans.
The liberals are playing their tired alarmist game, insisting that new Medicaid work requirements are too burdensome. But in reality, these steps are not difficult. It’s about giving people a sense of agency, not making them feel dependent. We’re talking about registering for benefits twice a year—hardly a Herculean task. Democrats should stop their infantilization of the working class. Instead, encourage the very agency they claim to support and give people the dignity of work.

Bash and other like-minded media figures are quick to jump on the fear-mongering bandwagon. They’re spinning stories of lost benefits, but the truth isn’t what they’re selling. What’s actually happening? There are more jobs, thanks to a secure border and a flourishing economy. Working-class wages are on the rise. This means people won’t be stuck on government assistance; they’ll find jobs with good healthcare benefits. It’s a narrative of empowerment the left conveniently ignores.
Remember when Democrats voiced support for work requirements? It wasn’t that long ago. Under leaders like Bill Clinton and President Obama, work requirements were a popular idea—not just among conservatives, but across the aisle. Even now, these policies resonate with average Democratic voters. What happened to that party?
It’s clear that every time the media puts a Trump official in the hot seat, the outcome is entertaining—if not a bit embarrassing for the hosts. They find themselves out-maneuvered, their arguments reduced to rubble. One must wonder how long they can keep up the charade, pretend they care about American empowerment, and keep getting schooled every time. Perhaps it’s time they learned to listen to those who believe in the strength, capability, and resilience of the American spirit.
