Actually, they would just be taking the equivalent of a stockholder's interest in the bank. Similar to Warren Buffet's recent purchases, the USG would basically just be giving them money, and would gain some sort of high-quality stocks in the company. The USG wouldn't have any outright control over the banks, so you're concerns (at least the ones you just brought up) wouldn't actually become a problem.
