I don't think its the amount so much as who it is going to. The republicans are itching at a shot to break the backs of these unions, and this is their golden

  The unions broke their own backs. Republicans (and Democrats) didn't make the big three into horribly managed, debt-laden, corporate pigs producing products that no one wants, but they both helped--but the ways they helped make them soft-headed and inefficient are probably things you approve of (like protectionist tariffs on imports, stricter immigration laws, trade restrictions of various sorts, etc.). The management and the unions at those companies worked hard for many years to destroy the US auto industry. Neither bailout is a good or fair solution, but deciding that every broken industry ought to be able to extract limitless funds from innocent taxpayers in order to continue with business as usual, merely because one broken industry is getting a bailout, borders on evil. Two wrongs don't make a right.
