"So the question I have about this bailout that is being discussed in Congress right now — this $700 billion bailout — is 'Does it take a special kind of person to ask for $700 billion, like Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson is doing?  Can anyone do it?  What if any American just asked for $700 billion?  What would that sound like?'"
