All taken together though it's a combo of unions and the companies compromising themselves into this position over many years, legacy costs are killing them so there needs to be a solution soon.

you're right.... lets use that logic.
lets make sure we protect all dying companies. all inefficient companies, all dying technologies, all outmoded products period because of the supposed "domino effect".
then, while we're at it... lets make sure we have a world where puppies never die, children never cry and lets increase the life span of pretty butterflies by 18 months so they can bring more beauty to the world.
that will surely solve everything.
the US car industry is totally backwards. it doesn't have a sustainable model and they have proven to be unsustainable businesses. its an industry that cranks out garbage and it can't compete with foreign car companies in its own backyard... which says a lot.
the "domino effect"?
it can also be argued that YOU "don't realize" that there is an economic "domino effect" to propping up failing super companies with tax payer dollars as well.
