that's not prague pragmatism or adjustment to changing circumstances so this modest account of liberalism is a form of conservatism, can't be the whole truth, and, in fact, i would suggest it's something more like a noble lie meant to protect the actual story of liberalism. as a political phenomena, american liberalism is almost exactly a hundred years old. it emerged in the progressive movement that broke into our politics in 1912 in that famous election won by woodrow wilson. liberalism progressed, as i understand it, across american politics in three great waves that dominated the last century, and for convenience sake, i'll point to them. the new freedom, that was wilson's administration and program. the new deal, of course, and the great society, of course, along with its tragic chorus, the new left. each wave set out to transform america as the names suggest. if you want to create a great society, that implies this is a lousy society. if you want a new deal, that implies there's something rotten with the old deal. you need to lift up america, change it, transform it, and liberalize

there prague -- provocations maybe no better than ours have been on political issues. lots of things can emerge including other economic issues like trade wars or what ever it may be. there is a pretty good chance we're going to start to see some significant recovery. there are signs out there. one part of it is another area i think the obama policies faltered, not moving rapidly on the housing market. americans' savings have been wrapped upin their homes. you will not get consumption are confidence of savings are not only taking a hit but will not come back. as you start to see home prices rise in the market shift, that will probably bring itself a significant level of consumer confidence. that can feed on some level of growth. to be realistic, we are not going to get those levels of growth in the next couple of years if you have recovered from a typical recession. it will take longer than that. it will probably be at a lower level. >> there is one question here. >> i was wondering what the fed the divisions within the nation that we have seen, the near split that is
