Yes. I'd allow Ford, GM, Citi, AIG, etc.. to stand (or fail) on their own.
On the bail-outs I agree. However, legislation is needed to correct the policies of the Republican controlled Congress and the Republican President that got us in to this mess in the first place. The market sorting itself out? Ain't gonna happen. Capitalism is like fire. Useful when controlled, but devastating when let loose with no constraints.
