i
think
governor
waller
has
been
right
on
the
money
in
terms
of
suggesting
to
his
fellow
fomc
members
that
they
look
through
the
one
off
impact
of
inflation
from
tariffs
and
that
they
focus
more
on
the
full
employment
mandate
because
i
do
think
the
full
employment
mandate
is

threat
because
just
as
you
suggested
yes
i
do
believe
the
labor
market
could
tip
the
overall
economy
into
contraction
could

and
social

that
has
been

to
an
anemic
pace
beginning
in
may
and
unfortunately
those
jobs

that
has

creation
is
in
two
spaces
that
