Potential popular support? Everything can have popular support if the PR budget is big enough. I grant you however that there are no well funded interests pushing for an end to securitization. I won't argue the case here, but it seems the best result that can be expected of the administration's plan is  return to just before the financial system exploded. Only with more people being unemployed and or homeless. Extend and pretend has lead to the financials' grip on public policy being stronger than ever. Meanwhile the debate was shifted from bank reform to austerity and the cat food commission.

Actually the debate is over extensions to the social welfare system and tax fairness - far better grounds than arcane financial issues.
