I said it in the AA thread and at the risk of repeating myself, the US3 are too big to fail - not just in terms of jobs but in terms of what it is they do for the US economy. They will not be allowed to fail.
I agree as well.
1. One of the big 3 failing will leave the 2 BigER, with even less competition than currently exists.
2. All 3 of them do so much for the economy. Loosing the value brougth by them as well as having that many people go unemployed at once is not something any politician wants to have happen on their watch.
