and while i was in tunisia they were talking about, some people were talking about domestic peace corps, sending you know two nations to help the undeveloped heart of the country. could egypt do something like that to help these thousand villages and could the u.s. government put some money into supporting a domestic peace corps or helping these thousand villages and small and medium enterprises? but i think for the government to continue to rely on subsidies or even increase them, they can't afford to do it in the long-term. so this is a real penchant and how in how you deal with this 40% of egyptians that are living on $2 or less. >> do you want to add to that? >> i am no good at figures but there has been quite a bit of american money put in for developing small and medium businesses. because this is getting people back up on their feet. i mean you saw it during the revolution. there were people who at the end of 18 days have no money to keep their families going. we met them. so there apparently -- i mean there has been money for developing the small businesses and people are meant
