"On Ryan’s watch, the Delphi Automotive Systems plant in Oak Creek, which once employed more than 4,000 workers, closed as much of the work it once did moved to Mexico and China.
On Ryan’s watch, the Janesville General Motors plant, which once employed more than 7,000 workers, was shuttered.
On Ryan’s watch, the Kenosha Chrysler plant, which employed 16,000 workers when it was a crown jewel of George Romney’s old American Motors Company, ended production.
When Paul Ryan was elected to Congress, there really was a “Detroit West” in Wisconsin. His votes and his policies were not entirely responsible for the collapse of the auto industry in southeastern Wisconsin."
