Anyone thinking of buying a new vehicle within the next 3-6 months? I highly doubt it especially when the employment situation will only get worse. Even if the Big 3 automakers get a bailout today, they will come back in 6 months begging for more taxpayer money! The only way they can get out of this mess is to file for bankruptcy, eliminate the union, and restructure. Or, the automakers will fail outright (even with the bailout). In either case, I expect thousands of auto workers to line up at the unemployment office sooner rather than later. I don't see any other way around this.
