Office pool! [update]
What yammering point will the Republican Framing Machine come up with next to keep its army of winger replicants frothing and stamping?
What's next after "privatization private personal account" doesn't poll well either?
1. Mad Money Accounts? (E. Saunders)
2. What-Happens-in-Vegas-Stays-in-Vegas Accounts?
3. Welfare for Brokers Accounts?

I have to say Ix-Nay on "Freedom Accounts" -- not that it isn't clever and witty; but because Freedom is Dear Leader's favorite word, and since our usage of it is snarky and ironic -- Dear Leader is liable to adopt it as his own.

Alpo Accounts still has my vote.
