Last week, the Treasury Department announced a $5 billion loan to auto suppliers. The goal of the loan is to help suppliers meet their payrolls and cover their expenses. As a class, discuss what would happen to the auto industry and to consumers if auto supply companies went bankrupt. Next, as individuals, find a company mentioned in today’s USA TODAY. Think of three suppliers or other businesses that the company you identified relies on. Then, imagine that one of the suppliers or businesses went under. Describe the effects that this situation would have on the first business you identified as well as on consumers and the country.
