I’m just going to dive right in here and say that the economy is, like, totally a mess, right? I mean, apparently, some CEO told Maria Bartiromo that we’re already in a recession – because, you know, one CEO’s opinion is all we need to confirm a recession (sarcasm alert!). And I’m over here thinking, how do you even deal with that when you’re trying to implement all these new policies, like deregulation, which, might I add, is just a fancy word for "let’s make the rich people richer"?
But, allegedly, some expert, Bessent, came along and said, "Hey, Maria, that CEO might have been talking about the manufacturing sector being in a recession under the previous administration" – because, of course, everything is someone else’s fault. And then he dropped this amazing phrase: "reprivatizing" the economy, which, if I’m being honest, sounds like something a Bond villain would say. I mean, what does that even mean? Are we just going to sell the whole country to the highest bidder or something? You can find more info on economic deregulation on Amazon, if you’re interested.
And, oh boy, it gets even better – Bessent thinks that by "reprivatizing" the economy, they can somehow magically make the deficit disappear, "rightsize" the federal workforce (read: fire a bunch of people), and then, through some sort of economic wizardry, make long-term interest rates come down, inflation disappear, and energy prices plummet. I mean, it sounds like a perfect plan, said no economist ever. By the way, have you tried searching for books on economic recession on Amazon? Just saying.
But, I guess, according to Bessent, if we just deregulate the banks (because that’s worked so well in the past), the private sector will just magically start growing again, and we’ll all live happily ever after. And, I’m just wondering, has anyone else noticed that this sounds like a recipe for disaster? I mean, what could possibly go wrong, right?

And, let’s be real, who needs a functioning economy when you have Twitter to distract us from the impending doom? I mean, seriously, can someone please explain to me how we’re supposed to take any of this seriously when the people in charge seem to be making it up as they go along? But, hey, at least we have books on economics to guide us through these tumultuous times.
But, what really gets my goat is that no one seems to be addressing the actual problems – you know, like climate change, inequality, and access to healthcare. Instead, we’re just going to deregulate our way to prosperity, because that’s worked so well in the past (note the sarcasm). And, I’m just thinking, can we please, for the love of all things good, focus on the real issues for once? You can find more information on climate change on Amazon.
And, on a completely unrelated note, has anyone tried those new coffee machines that are supposed to make the perfect cup of coffee? I mean, I’m just saying, if we’re going to be stuck in this economic mess, at least we can have good coffee, right? But, I digress. The point is, we need to wake up and start paying attention to what’s actually going on, rather than just blindly following the latest trend or politician’s promise.

But, in all seriousness, it’s time to take a step back and really think about what’s going on here. We’re being fed a bunch of empty promises and half-truths, and it’s up to us to start demanding more. We deserve better than to be treated like pawns in some giant game of economic chess. So, let’s make some noise, people! Let’s start asking questions and demanding answers. You can find more information on the original statement here.
And, finally, I just want to say that I’m done with all this nonsense. I’m done with the lies, the excuses, and the broken promises. It’s time for a change, people. It’s time to take back our economy and our country. So, let’s get to it! You can find more info on economic reform on Amazon.
