farmers getting rid of soy beans. so, do you look at 4.1% and think that is sustainable or should we talk about 2.83%? >> i think you're right to get a little bit anxious about focusing on only one number. and i got to also add that jared has over the years taken a lot of guff from conservatives about the first forecast he did about what the economy would be if we passed the stimulus and a think a lot of that criticism was unfair because they had to close, as i did, before they got a whole bunch of really bad data. for sure they would have chained t changed the numbers if they had the data. i think that's unfair. for me, though, thinking about what i'm doing now here at the white house, that when i took the job, the president basically said, kevin, don't spin the american people.
