The Fed controls the rates. Not Trump. Not policy. Wake up.
So Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent looked Trump in the eye and said:
“We’re under your direction… re-privatizing the economy… cutting government spending… re-leveraging the banking system… bringing back manufacturing… fixing the affordability crisis… and that’ll naturally bring interest rates down.”
Let’s break this delusion apart piece by piece — because this kind of statement is either wildly uninformed, or straight-up gaslighting.
“Re-privatizing the economy?”
You mean the economy that’s already owned by corporate oligarchs and controlled by the Federal Reserve — a private central bank that answers to no one? The U.S. economy has never been un-privatized. What you’re doing is shifting power from one class of elites to another and slapping a populist label on it. It’s not reform. It’s repackaging.
“Re-leveraging the banking system?”
The banking system is already a ticking time bomb of leverage. It runs on fractional-reserve lending, where banks loan out money they don’t even have. You want to add more leverage? That’s not a strategy — that’s asking for 2008 all over again, except this time the fallout will be worse, because the Fed’s already burned through its tools.
And here’s the biggest lie of them all — “interest rates will naturally come down.”
No, they won’t. Interest rates don’t move because government jobs are cut or oil drops 15%. This isn’t some cause-and-effect fairytale. Rates move when the Federal Reserve says they move — period. They control the cost of money in this country. Everything else is noise.
So while Bessent’s out here selling this feel-good fantasy about lower rates, more jobs, and solving affordability — the truth is, none of that happens unless the Fed allows it. And they don’t answer to Trump, or Congress, or the people. They are a private institution operating outside of democratic control.
The affordability crisis?
It wasn’t caused by lack of manufacturing jobs. It was caused by the same central banks inflating assets, destroying the value of your dollar, and creating a debt-based economy that punishes anyone who isn’t already rich. Deregulation won’t fix that. Printing more debt sure as hell won’t fix it. And this magical “natural” drop in interest rates? That’s just insulting to anyone who understands how monetary policy actually works.
Bottom line:
This wasn’t a serious policy update. This was propaganda. A staged performance for the cameras, designed to sound intelligent to the economically illiterate. But for those of us who know the system — this was nothing but smoke and mirrors.
They want you to believe that “things are getting better” — when in reality, they’re doubling down on the exact same system that’s been bleeding this country dry for decades.

How would a National Socialist, Life-Affirming state fix this?
Simple. You cut the cord from the private central banking system entirely. The state regains control of its currency — interest rates, inflation, and credit flow are governed by the nation, for the nation, not by unelected bankers.
You ban predatory lending. You outlaw planned obsolescence. You build an economy on real productivity, not financial alchemy. No more fake wealth created through speculation and leverage — wealth must come from labor, innovation, and service to the people.
Housing, food, and energy are made affordable by design, not as some accidental byproduct of deregulation. The affordability crisis ends because the system is built from the ground up to support life, not extract it.
In a Life-Affirming state, the economy serves the people.
In this system? The people serve the economy.
That’s the difference.
