Buchanan was exposed as a fraud back in the 1990s when he traveled all over the Rust Belt complaining about the loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs -- then climbed into his Mercedes-Benz and drove back to his comfortable home in the Beltway suburbs.
Buchanan was correct about the Rust Belt and the trememdous loss of mfg. jobs in the 70's and 80's. What most folks don't realize is that when many companie's sent mfg. jobs overseas they eliminated a lot of white collar positions such as engineering, management, supervisory, accounting, etc. Add to that the impact on service sectors in the community that depended on business from the local factory workers and the effects were pretty devastating.......Buchanan's mistake was delivering the truth in a somewhat disingenuous manner.
