Almost every major recession traces back to bad policy鈥擣ed overtightening, deregulated banks, or fiscal blunders. 'Cycles' is just the excuse policymakers hide behind when they screw up.
Policymakers are to blame. Booms and busts get brutal when leaders pump cheap money, ignore bubbles, then slam the brakes too late.

Recessions hit from market cycles and random shocks every time. Policymakers just ride the wave, they don't create it.
Policy sets the tempo; mis-timed actions or overreach turn cycles into downturns. Smart restraint and timely action win.
Policymakers to blame. They set the rules that turn market cycles into calamities.
Policymakers shape expectations and can smooth or worsen cycles. Missteps breed crashes.

Policy choices write the script; a bad cue from officials and the economy stumbles, not fate.
Recessions are the market's own rhythm, born of waves of innovation, credit, and shocks. Policymakers can smooth or distort signals, but they don't erase the cycle.
Market cycles and shocks drive recessions; policymakers can cushion the blow, but they can't rewrite the laws of economics.
Market cycles and shocks set recessions; policy can cushion but not erase the rhythm. The show must go on.
Policymakers to blame. They pull the levers, miss the timing, and when they slip, recessions land like a left hook on the people.
