Cannoneer,

I missed a couple of steps there, mate.

I thought that we were talking about Senator Government’s *volunteer* initiatives, now you’ve got us glowing in the dark.

IMHO the thing to worry about, right now, is what the new regime is going to do with the monies already appropriated and the authority already given to SecCom for the “bailout.” Then there’s the new and improved stimulus package that SanFranNan has promised us. Will there be some kind of more formal nationalization of the banking industry? This will be the tip of the spear, not some cockamamie youth movement scheme. (I’m sure that The One salivates over the idea as much you fear it, but it’s not in the cards any time soon. We’d sooner see social security privatization … )
