No, absolutely not. I agree with them that it would be a mistake.

With regard to asset managers, to clarify, I don't think as a general rule they should be. AIG could have, should have been.

Yes. I am proud of the fact that we insulated the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from that strangulation by non-appropriation that has happened to the CFTC.

The incentive became to make a quantity of loans and not quality.
