It's a possible danger, I'm not saying it will happen, but for a bailout of the auto industry to work they have to address the problems that exist and I don't really see that happening because you'd have to address the issue of the UAW and no politician is going to bite the hand that got them elected and re-elected down the line.
I have nothing against Unions, but Unions have to responsibly negotiate on behalf of their members, crippling an industry and subsequently putting them out of business is not looking out for your members. UAW though has the possibility of weathering this storm, unfortunately, all us non-union types will have to flip the bill for it.
Generally I don't like any of the bailouts and I don't think the taxpayers should have to flip the bill for any of these mismanaged companies.
