explain, steve wieting, what chairman powell cares about inflation and adjusted rates. does not have a boom/bust outlook. clearly, if we go on this trend we are in now, which is moderate increases in short-term rates while inflation is still low, the hope is, and i think a reasonable hope is, we can extend economic recovery, but you can never avoid recessions. the next downturn is not a severe one. that is critical here. that is the reason why, sometimes you take away the punch ball. it doesn't mean you push up real rates to induce a real downturn. tom: an equal opportunity with carsten brzeski. let's go over to german rates, carsten. it shows that huge diversions, getting up to a real rates scenario. kind of like in the 10 year german. but it is still negative yields and most of your space. carsten: it is extremely negative. why is a german government not investing more? i hope we finally get a german government that could do more fiscal spending. tom: show that chart if you would, the yellow line. we will throw that out at some point on bloomberg radio for radio londo
