You would think that as Secretary of the Treasury I could do something about inflation. You are clearly ignorant of politics and do not realize that I have no power to intervene. Here's why:
It's out of my hands
The economy is a mysterious beast with many strange moving parts. My job is to manage it, but the financial system is a global force and cannot be tamed by mere mortals.
I'm not sure what I'm doing
See, it's been an upward slump throughout my career. I took this job because my ex-boyfriend got mad at me for a promotion. I have no clue how inflation works, much less how to bring it down. Will it disappear if I ignore it? I studied chemical engineering for Christ.
I am on vacation
Even if I knew how to help, I couldn't. Right now, the government is taking summer vacation, so it's physically impossible for me to draft a bill to help the poor buy food. Lying in a hammock and he's done intercourse for a week and maybe he's refreshed enough to help.
My mind is not focused on work
Like any job, the first few days were fun. . There was a mad fight for the coveted position and then I turned on the guy who hired me... good times. However, the shine rubbed off quickly. It mostly involves looking at spreadsheets and gradually realizing that everything is beyond repair. You just flip the switch.
Hitting the poor is an important Tory policy
Many of our followers are poor very fond of punishing reckless people. And cracking down on the "handout" makes them sexually aroused. Therefore, there is no point in messing with the economy if only small people are suffering. And of course you're too busy with food and hot water things to pay attention to politics and drive us out.
