A lot of comments read this is as fluff. And in some ways it is.

However, looking at the other side, I think what this might do is add some barrier or consideration when a bailout is considered.

The last time we did large scale bailouts (TARP[0], in 2008), It was rushed through and ratified in around two weeks following the sudden collapse of Lehman.

Any measures we can take to ensure that we don't fall into a situation where there is only one choice is sensible.
