Citi is something like 20 percent of US bank assets. By contrast, back
in the Savings & Loan crisis, ALL of the S&L's COMBINED were less than
10 percent of US bank assets.

Here's what happens if a company as large as Citi fails:

- Investors and depositors, fearing failure of smaller banks, would take
their money out, triggering further bank failures across the country.

-There would be less money available for loans to support economic recovery
