This is the part that gets me, as I've been saying this for a while -

Left unchecked, the superbanks could ultimately require bailouts that exceed the government’s resources. Picture a meltdown in which the Treasury is helpless to step in as it did in 2008 and 2009.

Makes one side seem a little less important to me.

Well, it is certainly possible.

It can go from "too big to fail" to "too big to rescue".

When that happens these banks, it would be disaster for many countries, not just companies.
