For a little perspective here, the amount of money represented in the OP is about $10.25 billion. That's just a little less than the average daily expenditure of our government as a whole.
It also is worth noting that only around half of the companies listed are in bankruptcy. Some of them may emerge from the process strongly and the other half may never need to take similar actions.
