Of course it will, but that is a given regardless of this deal. I rail on inflation and how it affects us over and over, and it probably gets old. The issue is whether or not that inflation is sustainable, and the best way for it to be so is for the labor market to lead. You cant just have a flat labor market but an inflationary retail market without dropping into recession. In all reality, your point would have been much more valid 22 years ago and should have been considered more seriously, and in fact your point was made by a guy who ran for president a couple of times but has been dismissed as being a nationalist: Pat Buchanon.
