So, too, in the US, the smaller banks that largely finance small and medium-size enterprises have been all but neglected. The federal government – under both President George W. Bush and Barack Obama – allocated hundreds of billions of dollars to prop up the mega-banks, while allowing hundreds of these crucially important smaller lenders to fail.
美国也是如此，主要向中小企业提供贷款的小银行被完全忽视了。联邦政府——不管是小布什政府还是奥巴马政府——用数千亿美元支持大银行，却放任数百家具有关键重要性的小贷款商倒闭。
