management we're certain is you the first few professional money managers like the university of texas pine colby got journey grantham in mon boston talking about the problem of scarce resources are starting to see the first few escapees from the world of nominal and they're starting to face up to the world of real. part of all the other factor in this of is the percentage of income that people spend on food and energy now in the developing world that number is quite high they make very little money and a huge amount of it is spent on food and energy like fifty sixty percent in some cases in the united states and in other developed countries up until recently that number was almost negligible so due to the growth of the fianna currency period after the one nine hundred seventy one and the ill and the income that was derived from the bond market and the stock market and the artificially inflated housing market this component of the household income was ignored but now it's coming back with a vengeance at what point does it do we start to see parity between the developed world and the developing wo

and that kind of a thing when and when the president said that director colby wanted to leave the cia. bush's name was on that list. that the staff produced. and people had him first, second, third, above the line or below the line. and for whatever reason there was a myth that was created that because i had been considered for vice president when president ford picked nelson rockefeller, and george bush, herbert walker bush had considered that we were competitive. so the myth came out that when he was sent to the cia, the senate said we won't confirm you unless you agree that you will not be vice president. so it kind of ruled him out. and i told president ford i thought he should do that, definitely not allow the senate to tell them who he should have as a vice presidential nominee. i urged him not to agree to it. the facts are that george herbert walker bush beg the president to tell him he would not be vp, he wanted to be director of the cia. his wife i think wrote a book and said he was thrilled to be nominated for that, and somehow the myth came around that i was the one who mas
