So you agree that Greenspan is presently not concerned and has no real reason to be concerned about wage led inflation? We are agreed that Greenspan's main concern is the inflationary creation of demand ex nihilo? You think here too there is no reason for concern. Perhaps. I say that such an aggressively pre-emptive measure is necessary given the overwhelming danger that a flight from the dollar, occassioned by just a whiff of inflation, could have on the US and world economy.
Tell me exactly what you want to wager over. We can work ou the size of the bet, the odds, and a repayment schedule
