Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Breitbart’s Alex Marlow and John Carney that the Trump administration has conquered the “three I’s” that were eviscerating working Americans — immigration, interest rates, and inflation — and he meant it with conviction. This isn’t spin from another echo chamber; it’s coming from the Treasury Department itself, and hardworking families are finally beginning to feel the relief.
On immigration Bessent was blunt: “Borders closed, promise made, promise kept,” and that is precisely what ordinary Americans have been demanding for years. Voters fed up with open-border chaos can see the difference when the federal government stops importing pressure on wages and public services, and the Trump team deserves credit for delivering enforcement instead of excuses.
When it comes to interest rates, Bessent pointed out real movement in the bond market — the 10-year Treasury yield has moved notably since the administration took office, and mortgage rates key off that benchmark. Lower yields mean cheaper home financing for blue-collar families and a revival of the American dream of homeownership, a result of sound policy and a Fed that’s finally not out of step with Main Street.
Inflation, the tax that hits the poor and middle class hardest, is already on the ropes according to Bessent, who predicted it will “bite the dust” in coming months and into 2026 as energy prices and supply-side fixes take hold. Make no mistake: the inflation surge was rooted in failed Democrat economic choices, and reversing that damage takes real policy — lower energy costs, smarter trade, and common-sense regulation rollback — which this administration is pursuing.
Bessent also previewed a study showing a stark truth: red states are seeing lower inflation than blue states, a fact tied directly to state-level energy and regulatory choices. That should be a wake-up call to every voter who’s been sold green fantasy economics that hike utility bills and send industry packing; state policy matters, and conservative governance delivers cheaper living.
Deregulation is central to what Bessent called a “massive” agenda to produce growth without reigniting inflation, the very playbook conservatives have advocated for decades. The results are already showing in stronger GDP projections and a jobs market that rewards effort, not entitlement, proving that unleashing private enterprise works better than the left’s command-and-control approach.
On national security and supply chains, Bessent’s “de-risking, not decoupling” strategy with China is exactly the sober, patriotic approach Americans wanted: bring critical industries like rare earths and pharmaceuticals back to U.S. soil. Rebuilding supply chains at home isn’t just economics; it’s sovereignty, and it means thousands of good-paying jobs for American workers instead of dependence on hostile regimes.
Patriots who work for a living should take note: this administration isn’t interested in virtue-signaling or bolstering Wall Street elites at the expense of the people who keep the country running. Scott Bessent’s interview is a clear-eyed report card — policy that secures borders, tames interest rates, crushes inflation, rebuilds industry, and frees the private sector will restore prosperity to the forgotten Americans.
