The same amount of jobs are going to be lost if we bail them out or not. If they fail they will be bought by companies that know how to run a business and most of the employees will still have jobs. There will be short term job loss in either case.
But one case doesnt have the taxpayers on the hook for 25 billion if they end up failing. And since they are already saying they are failing then my guess is they cant get themselves out of this hole and someone new needs to step in and buy the company.
