Large, well-run banks have actual capital -- even with the difficulty in valuing some of those assets these days. What capital does the US Govt have other than the power to tax? Or to borrow and spend until it can't possibly pay for the debt its incurred from its expected stream of income? Why would you think such an unreliable organization is so reliable?
