I am not giving the financial sector a pass, but at least they have a viable product that should be able to get back on track, and certainly the collapse of that sector did not begin to cause the Auto industries problems, it just sealed the coffin. the US auto industry has been in trouble for a long time, they cannot compete even though foreign companies here play by the same rules, they do it better and cheaper with happier employees. I live in the same city as BMW, and although they are not immune frome the recession, their plant is thriving and yet Obama wants to open it up to the UAW. Stupid, stupid stupid
