I don't know if it's been said yet because I haven't read through all these posts, but 1 in 13 jobs in the US - not out of auto jobs, out of every job - are tied to the US Auto industry. Can you imagine the ramifications if the US auto industry crumbles? You're talking MILLIONS of jobs lost. It would be like a virus that cannot be contained. The Big 3 need help and I'm for a bailout. But, the bigwigs need to go, i.e. Tricky Dick Wagoner. And something has to be done about the UAW...they've been riding the gravy train for too long. That's the one thing that worries me...all the money ends up being just a bailout for the UAW.
