I agree that auto manufacturing is a very important part of our economy and without American auto being in existance, the prices of the imports are sure to skyrocket further in price.
That being said, I personally feel the big 3 is mostly building cars for the rich. What do I mean by that?, I mean most of the cars the big 3 make don't retain their value, they can't keep up in fuel efficiency, and they don't have the long lasting reputation that Toyota and Honda have.
Instead of building sensible commuter cars, They've spent their time building sports cars, large sedans, and large SUV/trucks. GM is going broke, but they've got a 400hp Camaro (422hp if standard shift), a 400hp half ton pickup, a 640hp Corvette, and a new Hummer truck on the market for 2009. Is this stuff going to sell in a bad economy? Not in high enough volume.
The big 3 pretty much gave up the commuter car market years ago, choosing to build the big stuff, which worked fine up until the market shifted in the bad economy and record high gas prices hit. The goverment is afraid to give them the loan mostly because they are afraid 6 months from now, those CEOs will be flying their corperate jets back with their hands out again because their business model just doesn't work.

Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
