Should the US bailout the big three automakers?

Just a thought about all of the people working directly for the auto industry (me included). I can only imagine what this country would be like when industries like the automotive aftermarket, and the replica industry are reduced to just a handful of offerings, when you can no longer buy a brand new 427 SO for your Superformance, or Roush no longer builds crate motors for the public (if anything at all), and the cheaper high volume kit manufacturers who prop up the whole industry, are gone. What will it be like? Because the truth is that if the US auto industry goes down, the business of aftermarket toys will take a huge hit with disposable income across the country severely reduced.
I ponder questions like this, because I have always been a true "car guy". I went to college to become a car designer, and have worked for 15 years in the auto industry because of my love of cars. I have made the Motor City my home, and have started a family here. Automobiles have been and always will be a major part of our lifestyle. Today I consider leaving the industry that I always thought I would be a part of. I wonder what the future holds for my family, as I realize I may never afford owning another muscle car, fulfill my dream of building a replica with them.
I know that the things happening today in this country will affect me while I work for the Big 3, but I also know that I will feel the affects just as much if I leave the Motor city to pursue some other career. Have those of you who say you want to see the industry go down, considered how it will affect your lives? Because I too am opposed to my tax money going fix problems created by greed, but I still wonder if we will like the alternative.
