one of my favorite people is that president of kansas city tom connick who is a big advocate of having having financial institution specialized institutions and when they were specialized institutions we have the best financial system in the world. the financial capital has been one of our greatest export. not everyone may agree with that but what is happening now is to have capital requirements that are keeping certain banks out of businesses so you are effectively doing it the hard way and the banks are fighting with the regulators tooth and nail. i don't know that it's the best possible situation that we are going in that direction where the banks like it or not. they don't like it. what you don't have on the flipside is regulators are successful about getting the big banks to become smaller. what they are preventing is the small banks from becoming bigger. what we need is equilibrium and we need as many americans to have access to fair credit and the banking system as possible because that is what lubricates the system. >> one more question right over here in the middle. >> meredit
