That's a brilliant response. If you really understood how terrible the investment environment is and how low the interest and investment yields are right now you wouldn't make comments about reserves being used other than for the primary purpose of paying claims. There are a lot better ways all carriers can make money right now than in interest accounts or the bond yields. The industry actually has a terrible problem being under-reserved and there may be more Reliance National out there. Let's see what happens with Kemper's claims obligations.
