It's that domino effect that the politicians are fearing the most right now, not just the employees of the car companies.
A lot of companies in the US will be closing their doors once they no longer have those 3 buying supplies and services from them.
And when all of those companies go, other companies that did business with them will go.

And so on and so forth.

No, I don't agree with bailing out the big 3, but the consequences will be very far reaching indeed once all those people go on unemployment.
