<I don't like bailouts either. I would not support an airline bailout. However, in the case of Ford I would make an exception. We have only two auto companies left and this one is a major employer. I think we would be foolish to let it go down.>

What happened to the free market system? Terrorism did not bring Ford to where it is today, poor management did. The big three continue to fall behind in product, service and design (design being subjective of course). We only have 2 CPU manufacturers (in the x86 market). Should we bailout AMD if they go under? Besides, Ford would be a takeover target (most likely in pieces), too much brand recognition to let it just die.
