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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp;
&nbsp;即使是对金融业巨头花旗银行的巨额救助——美国政府已经向花旗银行注资450亿美元，并对其超过3000亿的不良贷款损失提供支持——可能最终证实都是不够的。当人们环视现有问题——包括数万亿美元的信贷违约互换市场——的全貌的时候，很明显，人们就会发现金融系统的窟窿太大了，纳税人的钱不能把它彻底填平。&nbsp;
