Play from 2:23[2:23]" Let's go back to that word you just use stagflation. "

Play from 2:26[2:26]" You know I -- wonder if it's going to happen I mean anything it's possible you're gonna go back to the seventies before you really kind of seen that problem and I was at a high school so much that was really where I was -- equipment I. What we're looking at this. Stagnant economy. And runaway inflation and in what's changed I think in the world today is that it's it is a global economy each were outsourcing a whole lot more of this labor. A lot of what we saw the seventies was this labor pushed going to outsource some of that sort of control and we can have worldwide growth and inflation is a natural event of growth now. Four point 3% as what the number was just -- CPR. I went back this morning a look at some of the numbers now in 79 and eighty it was twelve and 13% but -- that long ago it differently to worry about I'm somewhat involved in the investment world the world worried about anything but right now I don't think this is it."
