I think we could debate whether or not an individual would be gaming the system based on what the Secretary eventually came out in terms of regulation behind this bill. But I think there is a larger issue here which is quite simple and, that is, if this bill goes through without this correcting amendment, you could literally buy a house for 50 cents on the dollar, for half price. You could buy it for half of appraised value. Is that not correct?
