Too Big to Fail?

I have been giving a significant amount of thought to the statement that the financial institutions were too big to fail.

Does that infer that small businesses are too insignificant to matter in this global recession?

Does this indicate that small business owners will get left out of the stimulus solution altogether?

As a small business owner who has lost significant capital in both inappropriate tax revenue allocations and direct losses on real estate and private holdings I am at a complete loss as to how the banks can be allowed to take "Get Well Soon" money and spend it on things like executive retreats and bonuses, while we as a group still are not able to obtain access to capital and are still reeling from the mess the lack of oversight and greed created.

Note to self: They really don't get it.
