As we learn about the 1920's it is interesting to note that the US auto industry played a major role in creating wealth for the nation. Now here we are almost 90 years later and we are asking will the US automakers collapse? This blog assignment is asking you to think about the points of view that are at play in determining whether or not the federal government should step in and bail out GM, Chrysler, and Ford. Use your sheet (tan packet) to organized your responses.
