i mean, steve cunningham could be very futuristic, brian.all i'm saying. >> hey, i'm not saying inflation won't be a bigger problem than the fed thinks in the years ahead. i go back to the 1970s. that said, kept telling us inflation wasn't a problem. it was all transitory back then and it turned out that we had 12, 13% inflation. we could get there. i just don't think we're anywhere near that today. and the fed can still stop us from getting to that point. and so i guess this is great. what i worry about, steve, is that people take that number, 8%, and there's all of these inflationistas out there and people are convinced that we're going to have a collapse of dollar and hyperinflation and they run with that number. that's what bothers me. it's not a real way to measure inflation. >> steve cunningham, brian may be talking about me. he may be talking about me. i mean, i want the dollar to be 20% higher. i want gold to be 20% lower. steve cunningham, last 25 seconds, i'll give you the last word. is inflation going up? that's the key point. >>
