NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- It's easy to think that Chrysler LLC is no longer too big to fail.
The embattled automaker has already cut its U.S. workforce by more than 60% since the start of the decade, leaving it with just under 39,000 employees in America.
To put that into context, that's only five thousand more people than electronics retailer Circuit City had when it went out of business this year -- and few thought the demise of Circuit City would cripple the economy.
Once a pillar of the Big Three, along with General Motors (GM, Fortune 500) and Ford Motor (F, Fortune 500), Chrysler now trails Toyota Motor (TM) in U.S. sales and is struggling to stay ahead of Honda Motor (HMC).
So the news that the company could be forced out of business in the next 30 days if it can't work out a combination with Italian automaker Fiat strikes some as not that big of a deal.
"This is a company we can do without at least for the next couple of years without missing its production," said Kevin Tynan, auto analyst with Argus Research.

The MILLIONS of Christians who fought and died for your freedom would disagree!
“The Bible is a centuries-old work of fiction, self-contradictory and barbaric.”
Well, that confirms your ignorance.
And you have already confirmed your malice.
Get lost, you are wasting my time.
But they are sold out to foriegn interest and this false religion they call free trade.
They know Japan & China & Germany have
(massive tarrifs)
on our autos and all Our products.
automakers would be to have a fair trade were foriegn makers had to pay a tax to sell there cars in this country like we have to in order to sell in their countries.
“Get lost, you are wasting my time?”
Hey, genius, THIS IS MY THREAD!
Thanks for the link... I will read it when I get home tonight.
LLS
And you are the one who keeps this useless argument alive with your persistent insults, Xian.
YOU smear God, the Bible, Christians, Christianity and hard working people in America and you have the NERVE to say that I posted “insults”
Listen, genius, do us all a favor and don't post on any more of MY threads EVER AGAIN!
MY first car was my grandmother’s 1966 Studebaker Commander. It was one of the last Studebakers off the assembly line. IN 1979 it still looked like it had rolled off the showroom. Ugly as hell, but it had the same engine/Tranny combo as a Chevelle SS, the little box would absolutely fly! Got t-boned by a drunk in pickup and totalled it. I was one sad puppy.
I’ll post wherever and whenever I damn well please.
What is your skin in this game? Chrysler employee? Former employee? Did you get fired? Your brother/sister/cousin/parents?
Good. If you lost your Chrysler job, I hope you never get another one. I hope you starve and die in the street. What’s more, I don’t feel the least bit guilty about being so unforgiving. Even worse, no amount of Bible-waving is going to change any of that.
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, pipsqueak.
OK, it is obviously an emotional issue for you. May I ask you which you prefer free trade or managed trade?
More intelligentsia from, Little Ms. Insults. LMAO
“pipsqueak?”
Any time you think you have the balls to insult me to my face, missy, you just let me know.
I won't be holding my breath!
there is no free trade
So you are selling rabbits. I want to buy a rabbit. We agree on price and you sell and I buy.
Free trade. It exists between free people.
Earnest Hollings is not good source. First, he’s a politician. That makes him likely a liar. Second, he’s a Democrat. That is simply confirmation.
but he right in what he said in the video
He did not call for a reduction or elimination of US corporate taxes, a reduction in the regulatory regime strangling innovation and job growth, nor did he call for a revamp of our broken legal system.
He simply railed about job losses all of which are caused by the above, not free trade.
He is a Democrat. He is a liar by trade. I would not trust what he says and I’ve just pointed you in the right direction. You’re right about job losses, just wrong about the cause.
so you like what we have now, free trade
what about what he said about the internationa bankers
look at what coming next in america becuse of nafta

No wonder I couldn’t find it. I was looking in the wrong document.
