So we'll see what they do.
There is a lot of stagecraft that's gone on around all of these TARP initiatives, and we'll see if they actually don't take the money that they ask for.
In some ways, it reminds me of the banks that say, oh, well, we're going to pay that TARP money back just as soon as we possibly can, and then that's three, five, ten years on down the line.
