People, people, people. Come on now. First, I don't particularly want GM, Ford or Chrysler to go out of business. Second, I especially don't want GM to go out of business because I would like to get my Camaro. Third, those statistics that everyone keeps throwing around - like $156B, 212,000 jobs affected, etc - are automobile industry provided figures. We are all taking them at face value. Who has confirmed them? Finally, when the S&L crisis happened in the '80s and '90s, over 700 S&Ls collapsed. The estimated cost to the US was over the $156B quoted to be the cost if GM goes out of business - $160.1B lost. There was a recession, but the world didn't end. The US didn't collapse. And we all managed to come out of it. So everyone calm down. Have a nice drink and wait to see what happens.
