Even the extravagant bailout of financial giant Citigroup, in which the US government has poured in $45 billion of capital and backstopped losses on over $300 billion in bad loans, may ultimately prove inadequate.  When one looks across the landscape of remaining problems, including the multi-trillion-dollar credit default swap market, it is clear that the hole in the financial system is too big to be filled entirely by taxpayer dollars.
Dokonce i marnotratná záchrana finančního giganta Citigroup, do něhož americká vláda nalila kapitál ve výši 45 miliard dolarů a zastavila ztráty ze špatných půjček v objemu přes 300 miliard dolarů, se nakonec může ukázat jako nedostatečná.
