Inflation did not go through the roof, as everybody, you know, said and expected that it would, because the tariffs, we are, we are moving up.

And in the fourth quarter of last year, it was over 5%. And we're expecting more going forward. I love what Scott Bessen said, our treasury secretary, a couple weeks ago. He said 2025 was setting the table and 2026 is going to be the feast and the banque, the economy. (11:04–11:13)
