Yes, but I specifically referred to the fact that the Commission said we were overheating while a lot of domestic experts are saying we are not and are approximately at potential. Does Mr. McCarthy know how much the structural deficit has grown? The Commission says we are overheating and that the structural deficit is bigger but were it to say that was not the case, and that we were at approximately output potential, by how much would it shrink?
