The Govt will try and bail out the first few who seek statutory protection, but they are all in so deep and the business they're buried in is classic "long-tail" stuff (just ask HIH), so at some stage, they'll just give it up and let some fail.
No other choice: when you're talking tens of trillions of dollars worth of exposure, the government can't carry it all (nor should they).
