Who's next? After the auto folks? The power companys need a new grid to bring us all this new green energy. How about the NFL, Nascar. Bla. Etc.

Middle-aged musicians who split time between academia and making happy-clappy pop music in the studio, who may not exactly need a bailout quite yet but still wouldn't mind getting a little taste of that sweet sweet public teet.

My husband and his two sons are going to need those loans soon. Unless its ok to work at Macdonalds for the rest of their lives.

Keep in mind they are talking alternative (private) loans. I think federal loans will be around a long time, even if more lenders drop out of the program and schools have to go to direct lending.

Alternative loans should be the last avenue for education funding. Exhaust all other possibilities first.

OAPs, financially crippled because of all the stray 30-somethings coming back to the nest having lost their jobs and then their houses.

Still, at least we won't hear about how teenagers are such monsters because of separated familes any more.

Now they'll be monster because of the bad influence of their pot-smoking, consumerist, ex-hippie parents.
