I think it was an effective measure. The idea now is 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 economic payment engendered behind us. With respect to larrys point, one thing is just wrong which is our team is dismissive of inflationary risks. We have constantly argued 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 put this virus behind us. I want to quote Jerome Powell who strongly reiterated this view the other day. I think it was a week or so ago that inflationary risks are also asymmetric. He said, im much more worry about falling short of a complete recovery and losing peoples careers and lives they built because they dont get back to work in time. Im more concerned about the damage that will do, not just to their lives but to the United States economy, to the productive capacity of the economy. Im more concerned abou
win the battle and lose the war. you know? there is a if you discredit or politicize the justice department in the eyes of 60 million americans, you haven t gained that much even if you ve got these classified documents. so that is the balance that i think and i m sure they re thinking about, which is very difficult. because with anybody else you would just say, look. you broke the law or you seem to have broken the law. we have to get these documents back. what strikes me when you say that is the idea of obviously it is a bit of a damned if you do damned if you don t philosophy in having to think about these things but the idea of the battle versus the war one could say something quite similar, fareed, the idea of, you know, vilifying law enforcement and vilifying the agencies whose job it is to help support the enforcement of the law in the long run by doing that if you are a supporter of trump, if you are trump himself, those who are members of congress who believe tha
