Reply #47: Aside from its size, what makes GM special... [View All]

...and deserving of a bailout? The problems that you cite are true of hundreds or thousands of other companies which are also in trouble, and which are also more salvageable than GM. I have yet to hear an argument for why a bailout of GM specifically is important, other than "because it's big." If that's the argument, then fine, but I don't understand why GM should be bailed out when that money could be used to bail out or support companies that are perhaps troubled, but at least on a more sound financial footing.
