So it looks like the Big 3 have upped their request from $25B to $34B

During the hearing, an economist from economy.com (?) was present (I guess as an expert advisor or whatever) and said he estimates if the Big 3 gets bailed out, the Big 3 will need to come back for more as early as Sept 2009. Of coarse, the other side says a failure of any of the Big 3 will put this economy into a depression.
