It is a much more modest idea than one involving sunken roads (another one of “Freddie’s Follies”) or massive returns to the States. It suggest that States won’t actually lose out on the deal, but they won’t make a massive profit either – but that was never the point of the scheme. That more modest proposal might be achievable.</i><br /><br />You're quite right.
