Let me start with I did agree with the decision. I thought it was appropriate to take another bit off the policy rate. We have an economy that has been remarkably resilient, really weathered so many different things, and still consumers continue to spend.Businesses continue to invest.

So in fact, President Trump used the phrase of G2, which was used by President Obama many years ago. So this is a big, big progress.That means two implications. Okay. Number one, there will be bigger talks not only on trade, but also on ...

It was a company that J&J didn't have success with, so they spun it off. It didn't work as a spin off, even with all of the activist investors circling around it. Why should its fate be any different with Kimberly-Clark.Yeah, that's a good question.
