Yes that is how free markets work. A complete restructuring or chapter 11 restructuring( trumps bankruptcies to the ones with no sense lol) would be enacted or a emergence of new manufacturers. This would have resulted in job losses no doubt but would be better in the long term. Now we have taxpayers burdened with a 10 billion dollar loss from the bailouts including maintenance which I'd assume is a decent chunk of change. We also have subprime auto loan fiasco that's topped a trillion dollars with these companies reporting half billion dollar credit losses every half a year. It's not let them fail it's let them reorganize and fend for themselves. Almost like what we should be doing to bombardier.
