IMAGINE, yes imagine if Wall St.'s boards, management and employees aka financial engineers commission, bonus checks, stock grants of yore could be placed on the table; at the same table, importantly as a second place-holder, behind the interests of the US Taxpayer.
If recycling is not palatable or acceptable to Wall St. ask anyone in the Airline business - what salary concessions, compensation cuts are all about; and the sacrifices that are required when times are tough.
Further; be reminded that Wall St.'s wildly profitable successess of the recent past & problems of today are indeed ALL SELF CREATED; not so with the airlines; innocent victims of 9/11.
Yes these monies may not be much compared to the proposed $700 Billion but could be seen as at least a symbolic demonstration of confidence in their own cooking and a modicum of good faith Wall Streeters are asking the US Treasury and US Taxpayer to contribute to their collective rescue; corporate, jobs, families and communities.
It's all about alignment of interests and resources to a common goal!
