A bailout is the last thing I'd like to see happen. However, should the 3 main American companies GM, Chrysler, and Ford, actually fold, the ramifications of it will be biblical. Each company, both within the US and outside, have an average of over a million employees each. Times that by three and we'd have at least 3 million people out of work, just in the US. I don't think I'd like to add that to the already 11 million out of work at the current time.
