Is America Too Big To Fail?

As a big watcher of CNBC I'm very familiar with the phrase used about the big banks and other institutions - that they are `too big to fail'. Then, it hit me, why would the world want to bail out America via their purchase of our bonds - even after we stated publicly that our very system almost `broke' a year ago?

Could it be that those very bonds would be worthless? Could it be that America is too big to fail? Might they try to prop up our money system until it is indeed - worthless?
