CHICAGO _ The nation's economy is on a "strong, upward flight path" and should be able to grow without raising fears of inflation, U.S. Treasury Secretary John Snow said Friday.

"That is not a picture that suggests unbridled inflationary forces," he said. "It's, rather, a picture that suggests to me you've got a lot of headwind for continued, noninflationary growth."
