Well, I think the gentleman has also brought the other chart down here, which you probably used earlier, which is how the system would be structured. Now, when the first bill was presented by our good friends on the other side, that was the structure. I hate to say this. Over all the times we've just discussed it, that typical Washington approach of convoluted, complex patterns and about people making decisions hasn't changed at all. As we have come through and have supposedly come up with this new idea that has a few tweaks from the Republican side, there has been no compromise on the basic problem, which is that structure.
