Notes to answerer
Asker: O que e stava me atrapalhnando era esse 'when' que, aí, quer dizer 'no momento em que'. O A. quer dizer, com razão, que, apesar do socorro com o dinheiro público, a crise vai continuar, pois o erário público não vai agüentar tanta quebradeira que vem pela frente.

Asker: O que estava me atrapalhando era esse 'when', que, aí, quer dizer ' quando'.

Reference

Reference information:
Meu amigo OAL diz que "bail sth out"="to throw water out of a boat with buckets, etc". Então, creio que aqui o sentido é de "socorrer", "ajudar", para tentar evitar que a AIG afunde :).
Só tentando ajudar... :)
