We all know Richard Shelby, Republican Senator from Alabama, wouldn’t mind the Midwest falling off a cliff. He shouldn’t get the credit alone in this mess. What follows are a list of House members that voted for Wall Street and against the Midwest. When the Senate does their song dance and people go on record against the Midwest, I’ll post their names.

Update: From the Auto Extremist, Peter De Lorenzo:
The inaction – a blatantly malicious display of placing political self-interests before the best interests of the nation – was orchestrated by Senators Richard Shelby (R-AL) and Mitch McConnell (R-KY), two men who are pushing “the Southern Corridor” – a network of transplant manufacturing facilities operated by some import car companies – as the new American auto industry, even though it means destroying the foundation of America’s manufacturing base and ruining the livelihoods of millions of people – including auto workers, dealers and suppliers – who depend on the domestic automobile industry for their livelihoods, not to mention their health care and pensions
…
The bottom line is that hard-working people involved in an industry that has tentacles in every state and accounts for 1 out of every 10 American jobs are being punished today because of two self-righteous Senators who think their view of things should be the country’s view.
