Id like to start this interview by talking about you. I was talking a little more about you but i like the audience to start off honestly in your introduction. You got a note from a professor i believe saying youd never be apolitical scientist, can you talk about that . I put that in the book is i wanted to major in college and it was really torn between going into science and going into the humanities and social science and i finally decided on social science because i found those questions much more interesting and engaging and urgent for me. And in my Political Science course we read all these great political philosophers on up and they were all asking the question what is justice, what is good government, how can you organize government and organize society to make life better for people and particularly to make justice. So i ended up before i decided to become a Political Science major, i already had kind of a lack of confidence in my skills as a humanist for a social scientist be
Historian tim frank and caitlin smith. In order to talk about this, i really have to take you back to 1964, in 1864 we bury the first soldier here, in may of 1864, and then one month later we set aside 200 acres to set aside for national cemetery. There were 15,000 confederate soldiers buried here. In 1868 general john logan established Decoration Day, which he declared may 30th of every year. The idea was that throughout the country people would visit the graves of the civil war fallen and placed flowers on their graves. Decoration day eventually became memorial day. It became so popular that in 1873, quartermaster general Montgomery Meigs held to Decoration Day ceremonies, and at the time it became a small venue. Every year thousands of people would show up to arlington. One year we found that 25,000 people showed up to decorate the graves, so in 1913 congress authorize this memorial amphitheater where we are standing. And in 1950, is part of the laying of the cornerstone, this memor

But i think that the idea now is that we have to hit back hard, we have to hit back strong if were going to finally put this dual crisis of the pandemic and the economic pain that is engendered behind us. With respect to larrys point, one thing is just wrong, which is that our team is dismissive of inflationary risks. Weve constantly argued that the risks of doing too little are far greater than the risk of going big. Providing families and businesses with the relief they need to finally put this virus behind us. Second, i want to quote fed chair Jerome Powell who strongly reiterated this view the other day, i think it was just a week or so ago, that inflationary risks are also asymmetric right now. Im much more afraid of people losing their careers and life that they built because they dont get back to work in time. Im more concerned about what that will do not just to their lives but to the American Economy. Im more concerned about that than which exists with higher inflation. In our
