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?
