If the big three go out of business, who do you think will pick up the slack to met the USA demand for autos? I don't see young start-up companies being able to move into the vacuum previously occupied by large USA autos manufacturers geared towards mass production. I would expect the demand for autos previously supplied by USA companies to be meet by foreign companies operating both inside and outside the USA, and the employment loses would create new jobs within the remaining foreign manufacturers.
I would hate to see the USA auto industry owned and operated by companies outside the USA.
