Credit unions have moved far beyond that now. Today they're large, they have lots of assets. The question I'm asking is, because they're co-ops and because they find themselves where they are today with strong balance sheets, and because they do lend money now to businesses and other co-ops, will they more easily lend large capital amounts to other co-ops? Or is this a more fundamental problem in understanding the balance sheets within co-ops themselves?
