“I beg to differ. The management will always be blamed (In the case of GM, it's partly true), and unions will go on forever”

Not a chance.
What “management” do you blame, if GM is no more in business?
The auto unions are doomed. The combination of beter, more efficiently run Japanese car companies, and the collapse of American car companies, will sooner or later finish them off.

What’s the real, honest to God chance, that we will NOT bail out the auto industry and 2) that the unions will die??

The unions and their liberal counterparts in the media will craft a way to blame the management for the demise of the particular industry affected. After the busines is gone, it’s even easier to blame the management for the demise of the company than blaming the exorbitant cost of union labor. Unions will never take any blame or criticism. Are unions blamed for the steel industry going overseas? Nah. How about the textile industry? Nah, it’s the greedy business owners “screwing the working people”, not the fact it’s 10x more expensive laborwise (at least) to manufacture a shirt here.
