The other thing that happens and like we said earlier, we do not threaten this system. We are not taking money. We are not shrinking this funnel. This funnel is going to continue to grow and expand. This funnel will be there for people who like the guarantee of, yes, this money is coming in and some of it is going to filter its way down here and when it gets here, they are going to tell us how to spend it. If they like that kind of model, this model is going to stay around. What we want to do is we want to complement this model which you and I have questions about, but this model stays in place. But we are going to complement this model with the local control model, the parental and local involvement as an additional infusion of money so you will have money flowing into this model and then you will have that other chart with this person. This is confiscation. This guy has no choice. He has got to put the money into here. He or she will also have the opportunity whether they want to send some money directly through here, bypassing that system.
