they did alan jones david. but it's more. not i mean you know that there are basic i mean if we want to really be as simple as we can in washington there's there's a trade off between two sorts of policies one that seems to serve our ideals and other that seems to serve other kinds of interests and and allan is right that oftentimes u.s. policy runs in the direction of stability and stability is often perceived as supporting more oppressive regimes because the more people have democracy the more they're likely to to disagree on what the government's aims can be it but i think that also has a point that what we're seeing at the moment is the obama administration not trying to suppress what's emerging in tunisia and egypt they're walking a very delicate line and even though it's very easy for the administration to go along with you know the old stability path wanting to keep friends in power even if they're not the most budding democrats in fact what is happening right now is both in tunisia and egypt the administration is tryi

strategy around the world then i'm certain quite certain that alan has a point but one of the things that we're seeing or i would agree part of the alamo one of the things that we're seeing in washington right now with the obama administration and with the bush administration before it is that there is a lot of internal debate here how much we should be supporting democracies and i think that we should be supporting democracy even if it might not necessarily be in the immediate u.s. interest and this is part of the debate that's going on in the white house in the state department right now and it's part of what happened in the bush administration as well so no i think just to say that the u.s. automatically suppresses democracy around the world for its own interest of we're looking at egypt right now no it's preposterous this is precisely what is not happening there would be no debate in the white house nor in the state department if the u.s. just automatically sought to deprive suppress democracy we don't even know what's going on in egypt is actually protests for democracy we don't

nothing we could do would ever satisfy alan meltzer.

[laughter] and it's also fair to say that they were very difficult to control on a quarter-to-quarter basis. the chart shows that they're not so hard to control on an annual basis, but the fed doesn't pay much attention to the annual stuff. they pay attention to the quarter. they're under pressure from a congress, a public, so on, to do it now. and that's not within their ability. i mean, we can't, they can't get perfection or even close to it in short term, in the short term. so you have to take the pain. and that's, that's something that the public has to accept. i think of when paul volcker went to -- when i first met paul volcker, he was then an anti-inflationist and a believer in fixed exchange rates. strong proponent came out of the new york fed and
