The problem, of course, is that many of the problems Detroit faces were caused by the sort of pro-free trade, anti-worker policies that most liberals oppose.
Anti-worker policies? You mean like the $35/hour wages that are ensured by the UAW?
Ensured? How can they ensure that when the government just moves the jobs to slave countries?
You mean slave countries like Georgia, Alabama and such? Because there's still auto industry in United States that hasn't been completely destroyed by the unions, in a most perfect example of the often used metaphor about lunatics running the asylum.
