Let do a little comparison: If it came down to bailing out failing industries...

Would it be a good idea to bail out soda companies?

Would it be a good idea to bail out Tobacco companies?

Would it be a good idea to bail out alcohol companies?

Would it be a good idea to bail out the fast food industry?

Would it be a good idea to bail out __________________?


What is the benefit to bailing out the Automotive industry... Who stands to benefit/profit from this bail out?

It's not like people stopped buying cars because of the recession. If you need a car, you need a car.
If you don't get a credit you can't buy the car, whether you need a car or doesn't need a car.
In addition people often buy new cars because they don't like their old car anymore while the car still functions.
People also normally don't buy the smallest/cheapest car possible that brings them from A to B.
