I think any sort of waiver of title insurance requirements by the GSEs would be a huge mistake and would end up hurting consumers.
What we think you are doing here by assessing higher fees on higher-credit borrowers is you are actually contradicting the statutory mandate to advance safety and soundness, and you are putting taxpayers at risk.
I feel like both the rule that we are talking about today and this possible title insurance rule is going to be the start of maybe another downturn.
