Why?

Cuz you can't dig big enuf a hole to matter to me, and you most definitely are not too big to fail. The consequences of you going down are about like a hair falling on my finger. The consequences of the five largest banks in the country going down would be like me doing a Wily Coyote into the Grand Canyon with a safe falling about 2 seconds behind me. Oh, and my drop path takes me squarely into the middle of the chow line of a camp of rafters. Family church trip. Lots of youngsters around. Gonna be a really big splat. Blood on da walls; both sides of the river, prolly.

I understand the comparison, but why is it that those who live beyond their means should be bailed out by more conservative countries?

What Wharfie just said.
