So, what’s just happened is the Federal Reserve decided not to mess with the key interest rates this time around, even though everyone—from market analysts to President Trump himself—has been shouting for cuts to get the economy running faster and cheaper. Basically, they’ve held steady, wanting to wait and see what’s going to happen with all these tariffs and trade war stuff. There’s clearly more people inside the Fed now, though, who are itching for lower rates, and everyone’s betting the real changes will come in September, or as Trump starts putting his own people in charge.
Now, as someone who loves to drive, I can tell you this kind of careful, foot-on-the-brake approach drives me absolutely up the wall. Every time these bureaucrats refuse to lower rates, what they’re really saying is, “Let’s keep things expensive for the everyday person.” You know what that means for those of us who actually live life, instead of hiding behind numbers? It means it’s harder to get a loan, harder to buy that new beautiful car you’ve dreamed about, harder to hit the road with the kind of freedom that makes life worth living! Lower rates spur buying, spending, DRIVING! The spirit of America is four wheels on the road and the open highway ahead—not standing in some packed bus or chained to a clunky, rusty old bicycle.
You want to talk about uncertainty? The only thing I’m certain of is that the liberty to drive should be untouchable. Every single thing these technocrats do that makes vehicles more expensive, or fuel more expensive, or roads less accessible is an attack on our freedom. And don’t even try to connect this to “climate solutions” or “urban planning” or whatever other buzzwords they use—those are just code words for more oppressive speed limits, more bike lanes, and fewer rights for drivers. It’s madness! Where were these caution-loving money men when cities started slapping on 30 mph speed zones everywhere, squeezing cars off the road to make space for bicycles that nobody wants to ride?
Listen: The easiest, fastest, most liberating thing in the world is sitting behind the wheel of your own car, music blasting, wind in your hair, going as fast as you damn well please. Speed limits? That’s the real crime! Not just against drivers, but against humanity itself—against progress, hope, and personal freedom. Every time they prop up restrictions, use interest rates as a choke collar, or fund more stupid bike organizations, I see the gears of automotive liberty grinding to a halt.
So here’s my wish: I hope Trump stuffs that Fed full of people who actually care about real freedom, who lower the cost of loans, who get us out on the open road again! We deserve a world with fat speedometers, open highways, and NO LIMITS. End the insanity of holding back America’s drivers! No more brakes, no more speed limits, no more forced public transport. Give us back our roads, our cars, and our freedom!
