Joining us from newport beach . . . mohamed el erian, pimco's ceo and co-cio. Mohamed . . . let's talk about paul ryan . . . seems to be taking your phrase and using it. Is he using it properly? I saw him say we're here in the new normal. . . . we view it much more as a policy response that has been too cyclical, too partial, and too short term. So that's the key thing, andrew, i think, is to focus on what he said at the end of that speech. he said if we're not careful, for the first time in a very long time, our children's generation will be worse off than ours and that is a key issue that hopefully the politicians will focus on. . . . but the signal to the politicians is . . . you've got to act because our problems are getting embedded in the structure of the economy. . . .
