liz: jon hilsenrath, the mention of the word inflation. bank of america scrubs and twitter and tries to figure out when we start to see increases. they have been looking for all of the conference calls for earns, and the number of mentions of inflation have jumped, have tripled and are hitting the highest level since 2006. you've got campbell's soup, kraft all saying we are seeing higher material costs here. >> yeah. you know, it's a complicateed issue, and i kind of think the economy right now and all the indicators it's spitting out is like think about a patient on an emergency room table after she has a heart attack. you've got these ekgs and signals flying up and down, and, you know, we had a major shock to this economy last years which is kind of like that ekg going way off the charts. and, you know, i think we're going to be feeling the after shocks of that for the next several months. and the patient isn't kind of normalized or stabilized. we are going to see some pretty wacky things going on with inflation i think for next year. bu
