what is going on echo christine t20. it is really mysterious there are three or four things going on here there are demographics like the asian population and a couple of forces happening with normalization and there are a bunch of things that are opening on - - messing up the model people have been using for years you can say even the models were not right to begin with but at least there are three or four factors happening right now that are confounding everybody. gerry: that means we would eventually see at this level of activity are the upsurge of inflation? . >> all the models say that you should that these are transitory effects that this will all go away eventually and there is some level of unemployment. it keeps going down but at some point it has to. but the question is how far? and the more open question is what if we don't really know how it works? . >> so we grew up thinking inflation is a terrible thing. so that has been one of the greatest achievements. is it a bad thing if inflation is too low? . >> one.6
