After decades in the Senate, Lloyd Bentsen takes on a new challenge: serving as Treasury Secretary under President Bill Clinton. In this episode, we explore Bentsen’s swift confirmation, his critical role in passing the 1993 Deficit Reduction Act, and how his leadership helped shape the longest peacetime economic expansion in U.S. history. From navigating the political landscape to championing trade policies that benefited Texas and beyond, Bentsen’s blueprint for economic policy remains relevant today.
