Guest: Christopher C. Douglas, Associate Professor of Economics, University of Michigan-Flint  The announcement by General Motors this week that it will lay off 14,000 workers and shutter five auto plants in North America, is a blow to President Trump’s emphasis on getting more stuff made in America. There could be political consequences, since three of the plants GM is closing were key to Trump’s election – Michigan and Ohio.
