A Question

Last night at a roundtable for our nations's elite, that is to say, "bloggers," Richard Trumka, AFL-CIO President, implied, though did not say outright, that one consequence of the real estate bubble was that manufacturing and other types of businesses were finding it difficult to obtain credit at favorable terms. As I said, this seemed to be the gist of what he was saying though I'm not 100% sure that was his point. So I'm curious! How much was credit being funneled away from all other sectors in the economy?
