This will free up factories, resources and workers that some other successful company many buy and use. The capitalist system allows the companies to be irresponsible towards their dept obligations when in bankrupty for that very reason. So that some other company can start from clean sheet and be successful. I can't believe nobody in DC doesn't have the strength to stand-up and say "no more money to the UAW lazymen, no more bailouts to anyone, put up or die". Where is pride gone? Does the UAW has so much power eventually? Ford manages to live without a bailout, Honda and Toyota too. Isn't it unfair towards them that Generic Motors is now government's pet project.

Hmmm... How about the US treasury working on the assembly line and installing 1 cubic foot of $20 bills in every trunk?
