    You absolutely do have a vested interest in the stock doing well as a stock holder, but you don’t suffer 50% of the company’s losses.

      Your billions in stocks (that you paid for and bought) evaporate into nothing when the company goes bankrupt/collapses, so yes, it would entail the US government eating the losses.
