#1 You never see those video games.

If you can put a game in 128Gs, that's a small chip these days. Install on a decent flat screen TV, which requires you to run a 10-20 minute game scenario to teach basic lessons of life, for 6 to 8 hours of operating time before it shuts itself off requiring a restart. Then hand them out as ObamaTVs, you know they'll grab them, free, free, free. Probably one of the few 'moral' teachings experiences they'll get in their environment. Probably a lot cheaper in the short and long run than all the graft being handed out under the guise of community organizing.

#2 >use credit wisely

I'm the most libertarian here, but I think there's a case for licensing users of interest bearing loans. Have a test proving you can use credit wisely, calculate the interest and show you can work out the full cost before contracts with interest bearing credit are legal.
