"China did not rob us of our manufacturing base, we robbed ourselves of it. Greedy people in Washington and the corporate sector shipped those things out. This is what people need to get in their heads: stop looking overseas for someone to blame for the misery that we confront today at home.



We are the authors of our own mess, and those authors are principally in Washington and in the corporate sector. Americans need to wake up. That's the problem - it's not in Beijing, it's not in Moscow, it's here."
