Each plant might only employ a "few thousand jobs" but just as with the Big 3 many more jobs are at stake(suppliers and other support services), and you are missing the point.
The Big 3 can move to these other states as well and get the same and possibly even better deals. Unless the unions strike against them for leaving to go to RTW states, but thats another story.
Thats why I don't support the bailout(and also because I am a capitalist), because they should have moved ops to other states where they see better incentives, a few hundred million here and there add up to billions.
When I got laid-off some time back, and likely again in June, there is no government bailout for me or my company to keep me. It's called capitalism. The bail-out for the financial markets was a joke and goes against everything in capitalist economics.
