Jody, I believe you have left some zeros off somewhere. You are dividing millions into millions. This just shows how far out this plan really is, how much of the 700 billion do you think will trickle down to you? It might work, doesn't seem to be any other course out there. We will probably find out in a couple of years. It seems to me, what we need is more people at the bottom having the means to pay their bills, not more credit available to them.

I think too, that some people need a choke collar and a shorter chain.
