these increases in costs, you have to find some other balance in order to offset the cost, because people want the stocks to go up in their 401ks, people want their pension plans to go up, so companies need to then continue to produce the bottom line growth, while absorbing these costs. typically, what happens is they go to other forms of labor cost to cut it, so they ll reduce hours elsewhere or they ll reduce other jobs in order to offset the pay. so while there will be certainly some winners if this rule goes through, and, by the way, this rule is going to take some time, it s going to take over a year probably through the comment period and so forth to go through, but it s going to take some time. but it will help some people. the question is whether companies will actually affect the pay negatively, and other places and whether the balance net will come out to be a positive. okay. i want to bring in the vice president of policy and research. i mean, that is the question, right?
