    Cutting off your nose to spite your face....

    What I wonder is if the "Big 3" are forced into bankruptcy, and there are lots of huge auto assembly plants and other assets going at bargain prices and workers who are looking for jobs and states willing to make any kind of concession in order to get those jobs and keep those workers up North, what then will happen to all of the "deals" these Southern senators have to build new auto plants in their home states states. It seems to me it's better (for these Repub senators and their states) to keep their own competitive set strong rather than basically leveling the playing field for everyone.
