I've said publicly that I think we'll be back to substantial disinflation. But most importantly, I think we've got the Warsh Fed. Now it's a new day at the Fed. The Treasury Secretary and the Fed Chair have lunch or breakfast every week. I had my first breakfast with Chair Warsh this morning and I believe that he will do the right thing to balance inflation and growth. Thank you. (13:01–13:07)
