This is what should have happened in the first place for these companies: bankruptcy to allow sensible restructuring. Instead, we’ll get it anyway, after a gazillion of our dollars have been pooted down the drain.

Hadn’t THOUGHT of that! So, maybe if I lobby government to give a little MORE money to the automakers, then I can just claim mine! Great idea!

At some point, the amount of your money that has gone to bail them out will equal the selling price of one car. All you (and everyone else) needs to do is go to their local garages and drive off a brand-new GM or Chrysler car without paying for it on the grounds that you have already paid that same amount in tax.
