via TPM, an auto industry collapse could cost the US govt. as much as $200 billion in unemployment benefits and ancilliary costs. So a bailout seems like the prudent path.
Assuming the bail out transforms the American auto industry and makes them profitable for years to come then I'm all for it. However, at the rate they're burning through cash (15 billion in the 3rd quarter) it seems to me that a bail out will just be a temporary fix.

I say let them die and get out of the way so Zenn can step in and fill the void.
