Mission: Re-Privatize the Economy!

2/26/2025
Scott Bessent, Treasury Secretary, drops a gem: ‘Our goal is to re-privatize the economy.’ The real economy’s been limp, propped up by wasteful government spending and $36T in debt—without it, we’d be in a recession. Trump might pull a Reagan, taking short-term pain for long-term gain, but weak RINOs could balk. DOGE is hitting the bureaucracy hard—this is our shot to ditch public-private BS, regulatory capture, and Boeing-style flops. Less government, more freedom. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com
