Two examples, both Obamacare and Dodd Frank when they were written there were a few hundred thousand words. I don't have the exact numbers right now. A couple hundred thousand words a piece. Last time I looked, Dodd Frank in terms of regulatory number of words is over 15 million. Obamacare was over 12 million. So again those are the large metrics to try and describe the problem that our private sector is trying to grapple with as they're trying to grow and, and produce good paying jobs. (01:10–01:17)
