American Cars is a big one. Government Services and taxation rates is another one.

Your right in a lot of ways, but both sides are soaking in that dishwater detergent. The Union workers were being massively overpaid and doing poor quality work while being protected for a long time and leaving the car companies little room to self correct until it was too late.
The automotive execs believed that they would always be able to sell cars and had no future vision that would help during the economic changes that occurred.
