According to Moody's, there's a 70% change that a gov't backed bankruptcy will happen. I think this is probably the right thing: auto companies will be able to restructure, and gov't backing will reassure otherwise skittish consumers that the Big 3 won't liquidate.

Seems like a good idea to me too.

On a lighter note, a friend sent this funny ad (http://www.recreatingtampa.com/2008/12/09/you-wouldnt-buy-our-cars/) to me today.
