Shawn, I'm actually not even proposing a wide open program. Make it similar to a 401k, where you have a variety of programs available, most mutual fund based. You provide Americans with a book that describes each program, with it's risks and rewards. You then allow them to pick several for the purpose of diversification, say 3. For a simple program like that, you could summarize the benefits of diversification and balancing risk/reward on one page. ANYONE can invest in mutual funds.

Hell, even bonds or CDs are a better option. Guaranteed return, no risk. It's better than NOTHING, which is what the money earns right now.
