Saving the US Auto Industry

I vote 3 go - Pontiac, Buick and Saab or Hummer.
I just saw a show on cnbc about this too - they predict one to 2 million jobs lost, no matter what. If we give them the bailout then it just prolongs the inevitable even longer and further wastes money. The UAW is standing firm that they will not negotiate their contracts nor benefits at all. I wish them well with that. They really don't have a choice do they? BTW, one of the men remarked that there was a senator who had brought up this issue the last time they got bailed out... John McCain. He was overwhelmingly criticized for his "negative" opinion.
