Quote	"If the economy were growing, it might have been a better idea to let one or more of the three go bankrupt, restructure and emerge smaller and lither. But in a bitter recession, the risk that a bankruptcy filing would snowball and produce catastrophic unemployment is too large to take. A bailout offers a chance to put the car companies on a track to a more fuel-efficient future."
