I said, now, you tell me to my face that that is going to keep somebody from enrolling at your school. And he couldn't answer that question. And I said, what the Republicans are trying to do is to save that college trust fund so there is more money in it, and the more money that is in that trust fund, the more money there is to spread around to kids who want to go to school and the more interest that comes in. That spreads the pot out. I said, that is all we are trying to do. We are not trying to destroy it. So we always meet with these incredible arguments that we are trying to destroy, cut out and hurt and be cruel to college students. The farthest thing from the truth.
