Chevy, Chrysler, and Ford are an integral part of the backbone of America. They are all part of a shrinking industrial base upon which America was built. These companies can, and should, be allow, to turn things around, so they can once again take there place as pillars of the American Industrial based economy. Times change, and companies have to change with the times, else they perish. To let these companies perish over a short term economic crisis not of their doing, but in which they find themselves trapped, is wrong. These companies can, and will change to met the times. It appears to me that these companies have a short term liquidity crisis due to an economic crisis, and with sales down and no chance to raise capital under current conditions form either stock or bond issuance, they need our help. Although letting these company go belly up might not effect you directly, the indirect effect are going to bit you somewhere down the line, possible to the point you will eventually realize the enormity of your error.
