No, actually, I wouldn’t.
Unless you are looking at this as buying enough time to get out of the state, those companies are DEAD. As long as the union and the government are involved in running those companies, it’s over.
We can’t AFFORD to bail them out. It’s that simple. Real GDP - actual, measurable GDP since 2000 has declined about 13%. Real buying power has dropped by about 10% since 2000. If we don’t let these businesses fail, then we will ALL go down with them.
That simple.
And if that's not a stark enough picture, let's consider the fact that the country just elected an administration that will make the state of Michigan look like a bastion of free-market capitalism by comparison to what this bunch intends to do.
Earlier today someone posted a list of spot-on quotes from Thomas Jefferson that painfully predict the exact situation we find ourselves in. Those who are in one way or another dependent on government, are now numerous enough and strong enough via the aid of the liberal infostructure, to swing presidential and other elections, and those people are only gonna vote for more of the same. They could not care less if the entire country tanks, so long as their personal desires and notions are pandered to.
