4.4 million jobs would be lost. Asia would have no domestic competition. Every dollar of profit spent on vehicles would leave the country destined to foreign corporate offices.
Chrysler isn't even a car company anymore, let alone American owned.. it's profit already goes somewhere else.. Let them die or merge.

Feel for whomever they merge with, but maybe they'll get rid of the lines that don't sell and keep Jeep and their mini-vans.

Ford is international as is GM, I don't see how they would 100% fail no matter what the Government does. Internationally they still sell a LOT of cars. If they got so big that they can sell 100,000 or 200,000 cars and STILL not make a profit, maybe they need to go away.
