re: "Better to let them fail, let smaller companies come in and fill the empty niche, and help those who are unemployed."
You think that GM failing will promote the creation of a bunch of mini-gms, and there won't be a crash in employment. I realize that a magic wand is necessary to justify some of your crazier beliefs, but it's better if it's not exposed to analysis. You should not baldly state such craziness.
