Just the just as some of the inflation and unemployment rate.

And if we accurately accounted for inflation.

By the way the government says it's up three point 9% year over year actually much higher than that.

Then it would be at an all time high.

OK so we have a lot of problems here in this country and the inflation just -- beginning you know.

Then to rule out he is -- Federal Reserve board -- governor.

Said that we actually -- gonna launch another round of counterfeiting.

We're gonna have QE3 we're gonna buy mortgage backed securities ECB is bailing out Greece supposedly.

And the middle class in Europe the middle class the United States is getting flushed down the toilet.

How can -- be upbeat about that.

Well you know Nixon imposed wage and price controls and we had 4% were already there you know let's look at the poor forgotten middle class.

They have their real median incomes.

Dropping 10%.

In the last four years you can't have a healthy economy without a healthy middle class okay.

We need to do everything we can to support.

The middle class in this country and we are killing them with inflation.

And this is never ending an actionable inflation.

As I said QE3 is coming up.

But around the corner -- and every time you do that -- destroy the purchasing power of the middle class well put Michael always could see it thank you very much.
