But you have to count vendors, subcontractors, parts suppliers

No you don't. Not when the person your responding to is only counting the direct employees of the company he is trying to impute little importance to

Also the vendors etc. work for other companies as well.

Not to mention the fact that if more employees work for them, and they still don't produce a profit, it means even more labor resources are being wasted and even more reason to not bail out the company.

Also there is a market for cars in the US, and many of them are produced in the US, if Say GM went under (and bankruptcy doesn't mean it would have to go under) a larger number of venders subcontractors, parts suppliers, and even auto assemblers, would be employed by other companies (perhaps Ford, or if they go under as well Toyota, Honda, etc.)
