This isnt about helping the companies, its about letting their employees keep their jobs (for votes).

IF the big manufacturors fail, it'll cause untold billions in losses that'll trickle down through the suppliers etc - ultimately hitting us, the consumer.

Supposedly this is a loan - we'll see. I'm just looking forward to 2010 so we can put this shit behind us.
First of all the problem with the big three is the Unions, and that is who the bailout is for. And there will be problems well past 2010, not sure where that # came from.

UAW $75 per hour, Nissan, Honda, Toyota, Hyundai $45 per hour.

Also the UAW gave $1.8 million in donations to Govt offiials campaigns who were pro bailout.
