Lobby for stimulus money.

It worked for New Zealand. About 10 years ago, they got transponders in
every glider because the government bought them for the gliders. The
AOPA has made some proposals along that line for fitting ADS-B to GA
aircraft. I have no idea if it's worth pursuing.

NZ pilots, don't be bashful about correcting/adding details.
