HBO's "Schmatta: Rags to Riches to Rags" is a must see eye opener. Emmy-winning filmmakers Marc Levin and Daphne Pinkerson takes us for a journey back to the historic rise to the recent decline of the once vigorous apparel manufacturing industry in the U.S, focusing on NYC. In 1965, 95% of our clothing was made in the USA. In 2009, it was noted that only a poor 5% of our clothing is now made in the USA. Why? Thanks to greed, outsourcing and a bunch of Wall Street idiots. How long will this 5% last here in the States????
