It amazes me that some people think the proposed Big Three bailout would be purely for the benefit of the car companies, when their collapse would have a ripple effect that would impose widespread grinding hardship in the form of lost jobs, not just for those who work for the car companies but the employees of thousands of businesses that interface with the car companies in one way or another, as well as those that interface with *them*, and so on in ever-expanding circles. We should do what we can to prop them up until the economy is back on its feet. If we're going to let them fall apart, let's wait to do so until the economy is strong enough to withstand the blow. Otherwise the recession will be sigificantly worsened and prolonged.
