Otherwise millions would be out of a job, and that would impact our economy even worse than us paying.

At this point, the bailout will be like putting a bandaid on a severed artery.
They need to let them declare bankruptcy, then they get a supervised restructuring and most importantly, get out from the selfish UAW.

White House Action On Bailout Not Imminent
they than contradict the title of the news article with a sub title that reads
Administration Says It's Ready To Step In To Avoid Collapse

MY OPINION~ Let them file bankruptcy, be taken over by the government to oversee restructuring, warranties would end up backed by the federal government and they would be able to do some "house cleaning".

They shot it down because the UAW would not budge on the wages they pay people. Greedy jerks ruined it.

Interesting fact: Since the stock markets inception (around 1880), guess how many of todays companies are still listed?
The answer: One. GE is the name of the company.
Capitalism is cutthroat and tough. Let companies sink or swim on their own merit. Bailouts are Socialist thinking, not the thinking of free markets. Let the ‘Big 3’ fall and lets learn our lessons on why they failed and start a new and improved American automobile.
I think nostalgia is a big part of why this bailout scheme is still around. Let go of the past and move into the future – embrace and welcome change. Stagnation leads to death.

The only company that should be saved, is GM, if they commit to killing off Cadillac, Hummer, Buick, and Pontiac. None of those 4 companies have even tried to make an effort at making a more efficient vehicle and none of them have even made profit in years. Ford has been holding its own, and doesn't need much of a saving. Mullaly is already in the process of saving Ford. They just need to get rid of Lincoln and Mercury, they're just dead weight at this point. Then there is Chrysler. Chrysler should have burned down to the ground a long time ago. They haven't even made a quality car since the...lol nevermind.
