So that means when one of the huge Wall Street banks--these six banks--is getting a three-quarters percent, roughly, interest rate differential--a bonus, perhaps--that means that banks in Delaware and Ohio that aren't so big are at a competitive disadvantage. I assume that also means those big banks have opportunities to get larger. If the playing field is not level, those toward whom it tilts get other advantages and grow larger and larger, making the point of our amendment that much stronger.
