What makes you think they care about saving any of the big 3? This bailout is meant to keep them out of bankruptcy and to protect the unions. If GM, or the others, were to go into bankruptcy they could use that as leverage to dump the union contract in favor of a more practicle one. Politicians are owned by the unions so they will do whatever they need to do to keep that union contract in place.
