GM Stock GraphIf General Motors (GM) collapses, what would the condition be? A thought to this question brings the deadly feeling. Will the auto industry be the same or will it be able to recover from the massive loss. If Congress does not approve the auto aid for bail out of auto industry or delays the plan, its going to aggravate the deploring situation at a faster pace.

News from automotive industry reveal that the company is headed towards bankruptcy at the rate of $2 billion/ month. General Motors Corporation that is the world's most powerful as well as largest corporation has facing the economic blues over the past months. Workers as well as management of the companies are joining hands to support the bail out of the auto industry.

My opinion is that letting the last three US autocompanies fail is unpatriotic.
But if these people working at carmaking plants will loose their jobs, it is extremely important that they will get unemployment money until they find a new job, not only to support them, but most important to help the rest of the US economy. If so many people loose their income, they are not able to buy any more, and all other selling business will fall like dominos.
Unemployment money is totally important to prevent our economy diving deeper into trouble.
