Matrix, you're a Canuck like me and therefore, much of this discussion is somewhat theoretical for us. If you are from Ontario, then a very good portion of our provincial economy comes from the Detriot automakers. Windsor, St Catherines, Oshawa, Brantford, Oakville and others all have thousands of jobs because of the big three. So if the big three go down, you can bet that a lot of those cities will too.

As for the taxes, the automakers pay taxes too. And theres the income taxes from the workers, and the (multiple) sales taxes, and so on. So some of the money they are getting in these loans is money that they gave the government in the first place.
