Yes, sir. The number of the population. In part because people are springing back and forth between the sides. There is a famous john adams statement a third were loyalist and a third were in the middle. I think that is almost certainly on the loyalist too high. And probably too low on the patriots. And too low on the people in the middle. My best sense, i would say about a fifth of the American People are willing to make a pretty strong commitment to the union of the empire. Two fifths are willing to make a strong commitment to military resistance and ultimately to independence and that leads another two fifths of the population that are in the middle. Those proportions well have an flow over the course of the war but that loyalist fit will keep shrinking over time. They are so frustrated with british treatment and they are so often experienced being subject to severe punishment when they fail to protect them that they make the quite rational decision that if order is ever going to be

To. To follow up with respect with the fema certified with as implemented the Flood Mapping Program with deifies three council. It was created in 2012 to the point in time that it has not yet established by a fema so what is the timeline for that very Important Council to begin reviewing and improving the accuracy . If we refer to the fema flood map . Those rules were created we solicited the applications and i dont have the data but were in the process of implementing that so there was a solicitation. I just have to get you you could tell from many members on the subcommittee and across the country, the issues involving for flood mapping and the law that was signed into law last week are so very critical across the country and we want to work with you to try to ease the pain that this is causing you and so many homeowners across the country.

Approval. It would absolutely freeze Economic Activity in this country. No more stores or Shopping Centers or any kind of improvement of a property would be subject to your approval.

A place you can navigate which means travelling in water. But when there is no water, how can it be navigable . We are not seeing water in a thousands years in some areas so how can that be a stream . I think the courts are growing to scream your definition of stream is way overboard. How much time would it take for an entity to go through the individual permitting process in this kind of situation . Is that a question for me . How long would it take a community to go through the individual permitting process . This rule doesnt impact the permit process. In fact, we think it causes certainty to decrease the amount of time you question as to

These are companies that dont have capital. I think the big question here is, how does he view his mandate to run conservatorship. For now, hes made it very clear, he only wants to talk about what these companies can do right now to stabilize the Housing Market thats a little bit fragile. If these companies are in limbo, he may need to be talking about their future about whether to invest in them and how theyre going to proceed. Last question he did say about changing the construct win way one way to reduce the footprint. Did he set up a framework to encourage that . Fannie and freddie have done these. Right now fannie and freddie are mortgage guarantors. They dont make mortgages. They buy loans. They sell them back to investors in the form of securities and they provide guarantees to those inve
