A big bailout is better than a huge default.

GM and Ford are next. Both are near death at this moment, with their bonds trading like junk and their stocks nearly worthless.

Why? So we can socialize everything for a few years and hope it gets better? Sounds like the Great Depression part 2 to me and we can thank Emperor Hirohito for forcing us to crank up 75% of our GDP for military spending to get out of that one. Meanwhile, at that time you had rations of everything. Jam was a luxury item. No thanks. I prefer a collpase and rebuild, eating wheat pasta and yellow cheese for a year then several years of socialism where I must work yet harder for the irresponsible and wait for some other empire to attack our weakended position.
