That is absolutely true. And I think as we enter this debate over the course of the week, with a lot of these straw men that are being thrown out, we will have the opportunity to talk about and address the reality of what the costs would be. I think that is important. We have to address that. Our fiscal responsibility has to be there--but ultimately how it affects that individual farmer, who is out there, who dies, and has saved, has invested, has grown that farm or that small business, and has already paid taxes on what they produced, and to be able to pass that on to their children--again, not totally free because we have certain limits. Although I would argue we ought to repeal it totally, that is not what is on the floor. The compromise is on the floor.
