Do you agree or disagree with the auto industry bailout?

$25b for the big 3 automakers to survive or not? I can't believe they've run their companies to need that kind of money. They kept making oversized gas sucking trucks and suv's and now want money to change to smaller fuel efficient autos even though they've managed to stay in business this long w/o that. This is ridiculous. Please if someone can defend a bail out - convince me. But them threatening to cut thousands of jobs if there's no bailout is no defense - that's just blackmail on their part.
