Re: State of the Union



Thank you very much for this.
I think this American debate is of highest interest also for Europeans.
Furthermore, at the same time, the European Union is reviewing its long-term objectives about employment, social and economic policy, what is known here as "the Lisbon Strategy".
EFES (the European Federation of Employee Share Ownership) urges the European Union to give a major attention to employee ownership in the Lisbon Strategy. Unfortunately, our success seems low, and I don't see much interest for this debate around the Lisbon Strategy, even from most employee ownership activists.

Remember to watch Bush's speech tonite.  It looks like he's actually going to go with Privatization as a big agenda item.  Now, the question is, how do we hijack it to expand ownership.
 
There will not be a chance like this for decades.  Once this debate is resolved, no one is going to want to revisit the issue for a long time.
