Some economist calculated that if there were a 25 cent tax on all Wall St. transactions for a year, it would cover the bailout. I think that's a pretty good idea. Hey, that was MY idea.

you know what, dude, there is going to be a need for bailout monies somewhere in the system or the American financial system will go into total collapse. Some economist calculated that if there were a 25 cent tax on all Wall St. transactions for a year, it would cover the bailout. I think that's a pretty good idea. I think you could use such a fee to pay back the bailout but you need a big chunk of money upfront to get things rolling.
