You got that right. Even if you just count the employees of the big 3, then you've got a large chunk of manufacturing left in this country. But when you add all the contractors that make auto parts for them, you're talking about a huge chunk of the work force spread all across the country. I don't like the idea of rewarding bad management with a bail-out either, but I'd hate to see what it would be like for everyone involved in the auto making business looking for work at the same time.
