This is a too big to fail scenario. If these companies fail, so does the US economy. Normal laws for individuals don't apply, so any comparison to that is pointless.

There should be no such thing as "too big to fail" in a free, competitive market. Companies must be allowed to fail.

If failure means catastrophe for the nation, it shouldn't have been a private, for-profit project in the first place and instead be a public project.

I don't make the rules

I would be really worried about the US economy then.
