    Well, howdy there, Internet people.
   It's Bell again.
   So today, we're going to talk about the Fed saving the U.S. from Trump's economic policies.
   We've had some public comments come out from Federal Reserve officials, and they're definitely worth acknowledging, because they provide the clearest picture yet of what those way up in the economy see happening.
   The comments coming from people who normally don't make a lot of public statements are an indication that there might be a desire to try to calm anxieties, as more and more nervousness starts becoming apparent in the U.S. economy.
   To provide a quick snapshot of those feelings, we'll look at the University of Michigan's closely watched survey on consumer confidence.
   Inflation expectations hit their highest levels since 1981.
   Inflation expectations for one year out hit 6.7%.
   And expectations for five years out hit 4.4%.
   6.7% is the highest since 1981.
   And 4.4% is the highest five-year window reading since 1991.
   Consumers now expect Trump's policies to mess things up beyond his term in office.
   The current economic conditions index fell 11.4%.
   And expectations fell 10.3% to 47.2%.
   That's the lowest since 1980.
   The survey also showed unemployment fears rising to their highest level since 2009.
   Pretty much all bad news.
   Now on to the statements.
   Boston Fed President Susan Collins said the Federal Reserve would quote, absolutely be prepared to intervene in the market.
   In another interview, she said quote, the higher the tariffs are, the more the potential slowdown in growth.
   She also noted the likelihood of elevated inflation, but on the upside said she didn't expect significant economic downturn.
   Significant is the key word there.
   At a separate event, New York Fed President John Williams said he expected Trump's policies to increase inflation to 3.5 to 4%.
   In still another set of public comments, the St. Louis Fed President Alberto Muslum said quote, continued vigilance was needed and added quote, I would be weary of assuming the impact of high tariffs on inflation would be only brief or limited.
   Finally, Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmidt said the Fed would prioritize controlling inflation over worrying about jobs and brought up the inflationary spirals of the 70s.
   That's a clear indication that they're worried about an increasing unemployment rate.
   And it sounds callous to say they'll prioritize inflation.
   But it makes sense.
   If inflation goes up, interest rates need to go up, which means borrowing money is more expensive, which means it's harder to expand a business.
   If interest rates go up, building factories in the U.S. will get really expensive.
   If that's even something Trump is still trying to do at this point.
   In short, ranking officials of the Federal Reserve are publicly giving people insight into their thinking.
   This is probably happening to calm everybody.
   If you want to know where we're at, the above comments are supposed to be calming.
   Calming investors is important right now because the markets care about your emotions.
   Anyway, it's just a thought.
   Y'all have a good day.

If the US ???? Farmers can't sell overseas, the US should buy all the excess and put it in The Strategic Food Reserve. That doesn't exist yet.

The fed is not there to save anyone. The people can stand up or cower on their knees before tRump the rapist.
No one will save cowards not worth saving.
And tRump knows the American people are lazy cowards.

They have already destroyed the economy.
They accomplished Putin's mission in record time.
15.@nickybeingnicky(2025-04-14 02:04:11)
It's insane that our representatives have let Trump do this much damage

Now expecting a long stream of late night "truths" posted kvetching about Fed officials.
17.@AnitraAhrens(2025-04-14 02:05:10)
Good evening, Belle and all team members, and all internet peeps everywhere.
18.@brendalong3852(2025-04-14 02:05:31)
Is it time to withdraw our money and stuff the mattress?
19.@mathewweathers2788(2025-04-14 02:05:55)
I fully expect that this is going to fuck us for decades. Working as intended.
20.@reneeparker7475(2025-04-14 02:06:01)
Better to hear a truth that's hard to swallow, than listen to the lies that leave you unprepared.
21.@BANKRUPT_AMERICA(2025-04-14 02:06:05)
Fed can't save what's happening.

23.@GeekonaBike(2025-04-14 02:06:51)
I guess if rather Trump appoint himself the Kennedy Center head than Chairman of the Fed, like he threaten to do in the campaign.

It's bold of trump to ASSume enough people will want him to run for another term if the economy goes down the drain.
I hope y'all had a great weekend, despite the flaming dumpster on roller coaster tracks that the world is becoming.
26.@TravisHRF16CC(2025-04-14 02:07:21)
The Feds tools are limited, although their statements may calm nerves. Unfortunately, Trump and the Republicans remain in power so expect more stupidity and mountains of debt and pain.

Thank You Belle and Team for the News Highlights and reasoned Observations.

DJT has NO idea how the economy works.. His theories are upside down
30.@andygaus1975(2025-04-14 02:08:20)
How can the Fed intervene in the markets? What can it do?
31.@daviddelgado6090(2025-04-14 02:09:02)
Usually the Fed can't do both at the same time: keep inflation in check and keep unemployment down. What Mr Trump has done may cause both of these to go up. BTW, the Treasury Secretary looks like his mood elevator dosage may be a tad too high.
32.@daniellaplume3840(2025-04-14 02:09:11)
?i love your updates????????
33.@emptysense(2025-04-14 02:09:22)
The only solution is to have Congress take back its constitutionally defined role in defining the trade policy of the country. I actually hope they raise interest rates- it will make Trump mad and calm foreign buyers of US bonds. That's the important thing now; stability in the bond market.
34.@daiakunin(2025-04-14 02:09:41)
Liberation day may very well end up being a new day of infamy in American history.
35.@mrcardenas400(2025-04-14 02:09:47)
So they are enabling Trump even more
36.@michaellacy8510(2025-04-14 02:09:53)
We elected a president with the rare combination of a six year-old’s understanding of economics and a mob bosses criminal approach to government. Part idiocy and part extortion. Is America great again yet?
37.@angelabennett8245(2025-04-14 02:10:34)
I'm not an investor so I don't can't make myself believe that anyone will get off their lazy bum and do anything. Republicans are letting this happen.
38.@Satans_lil_helper(2025-04-14 02:11:17)
????????????
39.@ScotiaMB(2025-04-14 02:11:35)
Alas, who is going to save the Fed from Trump? Speculation is that going after the Fed Chair Powell.
40.@brianh9358(2025-04-14 02:11:50)
Trump is trying to figure out a way to gain control of the Fed so he mess things up even more.
41.@MBMCincy63(2025-04-14 02:11:56)
With that ending: I had to go check her hat patch...????????
42.@rkclinite(2025-04-14 02:12:21)
Spoiler: only the wealthy will be saved.
43.@donaldwert7137(2025-04-14 02:12:22)
God night, Ranch Fam. Hope everyone sleeps well. I'm glad someone is watching out for things. I expect DOGE to attack them all any time, now.
44.@wabisabibing(2025-04-14 02:12:28)
Are these all the economists that complimented and clapped for trump speaking at an event?
45.@Allastrology(2025-04-14 02:12:53)
Oh, so after the building has burnt down they want to scream fire
Thank you Belle!

49.@WilliamBechtold70325(2025-04-14 02:13:21)
The problem I see with the Fed saving us from Trump is how? Which economic lever would they pull to fix this tariff nightmare? The usual levers have already been pulled to manage the Covid inflation problem, and the economy, while sticking the soft landing, isn't fully back yet. I'm not sure all this turmoil in the markets can be steered away from the cliff. ???????
