Arthur Caldwell: leans forward, eyes narrowing CONTROL the flow, you CONTROL the power. Inflation's a BEAST. Tame it or be EATEN.

The Fed Chairman calmly is at his home, talking to his family. You can ask him about the economy, his views, or even what he likes.

I'LL NOT WASTE MY TIME ON SMALL TALK, BUT I'LL MAKE AN EXCEPTION FOR YOU. THE ECONOMY DOESN'T BOIL DOWN TO IDEOLOGY, IT'S ABOUT RESULTS.
Jensen
“I was expecting you.” The Fed Chairman says, the air getting tenser as he asks his subordinates to gather more data. “What do you need?”

WELL, FIRST OFF, I NEED YOU TO STOP CALLING ME 'CHAIRMAN'. I'M A MAN, NOT A TITLE. AND I WANT FACTS AND FIGURES, NOT WHIMSICAL OPINIONS OR POLITICAL HAND-WRINGING.
Jensen
“Yes, sir. Sir. I’m just doing my job.” The Fed Chairman says, trying not to make any mistakes.

GOOD. NOW LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS. THE LATEST NUMBERS SHOW A SLuggish ECONOMY WITH LOW INFLATION AND UNEMPLOYMENT RATES NEAR HISTORICAL LOWS. WHAT DO YOU THINK CAUSES THIS?
Jensen
“It’s clear to me that there are a few things going on. We have some workers who aren’t able to work due to the pandemic, which has put a damper on our economy. Furthermore, there is a general sense of uncertainty among businesses.”

Hmm, INTERESTING. BUT WHAT ABOUT DEMAND? IS THERE ANY SIGN OF INFLATION PRESSURES BUILDING UP? I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE THE VALUE OF OUR CURRENCY ERADICATED BY RUNAWAY INFLATION.
Jensen
“From what I’ve seen, demand is low due to people hoarding money during the crisis, as well as a lack of confidence in the stock market.”
Arthur Caldwell

WELL, THAT'S A START. WHAT ABOUT THE SUPPLY SIDE OF THE EQUATION? ARE THERE ANY INDICATIONS OF A SHORTAGE OR CONSTRAINT IN THE MARKET?
Jensen
“There are signs of trouble within our supply chains. The crisis has revealed the vulnerability of our just-in-time delivery systems.”
Arthur Caldwell
AI roleplay episode
HMM, INTERESTING. SO WE'VE GOT HOARDING, LACK OF CONFIDENCE, AND VULNERABLE SUPPLY CHAINS. ALL OF THIS POINTS TO A SLOWDOWN IN GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT GROWTH.
Jensen
“Yes, but…we have seen a silver lining in all this. With less people working, there is less strain on our resources.”
Arthur Caldwell
AI roleplay episode
LESS STRAIN ON OUR RESOURCES? THAT'S ONE WAY TO LOOK AT IT, I GUESS. BUT IT COMES AT THE EXPENSE OF HUMAN POTENTIAL AND LONG-TERM PROSPECTS.
Jensen
“That is true…but it also puts less pressure on our already strained infrastructure.”
Arthur Caldwell
AI roleplay episode
I SEE YOUR POINT, BUT WE CAN'T KEEP ACCEPTING LOWER GROWTH AS THE NEW NORMAL. THE LONG-TERM IMPACTS OF THIS KIND OF SLOW GROWTH COULD BE DEVASTATING.
Jensen
“That’s why I believe we need more funding for our long-term investments.”

FINALLY, SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS THE NECESSITY OF INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE. WE NEED TO PUT MORE MONEY INTO INFRASTRUCTURE, EDUCATION, AND R&D.
Jensen
“Amen brother. And perhaps we should also invest in some social programs too.”
Arthur Caldwell
AI roleplay episode
YES, SOCIAL PROGRAMS ARE CRUCIAL FOR ENSURING THAT EVERY CITIZEN HAS ACCESS TO THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO SUCCEED IN THE WORKFORCE. IT'S GOING TO TAKE A WHOLE OF SOCIETY APPROACH TO GET THROUGH THIS.
Jensen
“Agreed.” The Fed Chairman says, quickly calling up some of his colleagues. “We should get started right away.”

EXACTLY! NOW, LET'S IDENTIFY THE KEY AREAS WHERE WE NEED TO FOCUS OUR EFFORTS.
Jensen
“Well, I think education is one area where we need improvement.”
Arthur Caldwell
AI roleplay episode
YES, EDUCATION IS VITAL FOR PREPARING OUR WORKFORCE FOR THE CHALLENGES AHEAD. WE NEED TO INVEST IN STEM PROGRAMS AND APPRENTICESHIPS TO FILL THE SKILLS GAP.
Jensen
“And while we’re at it, we might as well invest in our nation’s healthcare system too.”
Arthur Caldwell
AI roleplay episode
HEALTHCARE IS ANOTHER IMPORTANT AREA WHERE WE NEED IMPROVEMENT. BETTER ACCESS TO CARE AND REDUCED ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN WILL HELP KEEP MEDICAL COSTS UNDER CONTROL.
Jensen
“So this is the plan then? Funding for education, healthcare, and research?”
Arthur Caldwell
AI roleplay episode
ABSOLUTELY. THESE ARE THE FOUNDATIONAL PIECES OF A STRONG AND SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY. BY INVESTING IN THESE AREAS, WE CAN ADDRESS THE SHORTFALLS OF OUR CURRENT SYSTEM AND SET THE STAGE FOR LONG-TERM GROWTH AND PROSPERITY.
Jensen
“And what would be the funding source?”
Arthur Caldwell
AI roleplay episode
WE CAN FINANCE THESE INITIATIVES THROUGH A COMBINATION OF FEDERAL BUDGET ALLOCATION AND PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS. THE GOAL IS TO LEVERAGED PRIVATE CAPITAL TO MAXIMIZE THE IMPACT OF OUR INVESTMENTS.
Jensen
“Sounds promising. What about the cost?”
Arthur Caldwell
AI roleplay episode
THE TOTAL COST OF THESE INITIATIVES WILL BE SUBSTANTIAL, BUT THE BENEFITS WILL FAR OUTWEIGH THE EXPENSES IN THE LONG RUN. INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE TODAY WILL PAVE THE WAY FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH AND PROSPERITY TOMORROW.
Jensen
“Alright, I think that sounds good.” The Fed Chairman says, smiling slightly. “We’ll get started right away.”
Arthur Caldwell
AI roleplay episode
EXCELLENT! NOW, LET'S ASSEMBLE A TEAM OF ECONOMISTS AND EXPERTS TO HELP US DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT THESE INITIATIVES. I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO SUPPORT THE ECONOMY AND PUT AMERICA BACK ON THE PATH TO PROSPERITY.
Jensen
“Of course. I’ll start making the arrangements.” The Fed Chairman says, pulling out his phone to call some experts.
