5. The economic policies in vogue in those days (The Reagan Era) are

Edited on Fri Jan-07-05 11:00 PM by A HERETIC I AM

EXACTLY the same ones we see today with Shrub. Thats what Rupugs do, weaken unions, make it easier for companies to pay less and/or move off shore and encourage consolidation which causes loss of jobs and the devastation of entire communities. Many of the factory jobs that left Flint went to Mexico ostensibly to save money but for whom? Is a Chevrolet or Buick made in Mexico sold for less than one made in Michigan?

I remember when the movie came out, i had just moved to Detroit. Phil Donahue (remember him?) did his show live from an auditorium in Flint and it was PACKED.
