Not a single mention of the Big Labor’s hand in any of it. By the looks of this, manufacturing became uncompetitive because of the people that helped them finance their expansion, and NOT because DC liberals and their unions squeezed them out of existence.

Between the tort lobby, excessive regulation, and labor, manufacturing died. This jackweed is blaming Wall Street.

Rosie O’Donnel is going to blame the fact that she’s overweight on Wall Street next week.

There’s nothing of value in this teary elegy.

Well, some of the manufacturers have themselves to blame. Have any of the US car makers actually put out vehicles, other than pick-ups, that actually competed with Hondas, Toyotas, or Nissans in the past 20 years?

Certainly a glaring oversight to have left that out...

More glaring oversights...

I think he is really trying to point out the glaring differences between how Congress (the root of both problems, IMO) reacted to the financial meltdown and the loss of manufacturing.
