Automotive columnist Daniel Howes of the Detroit News has written an interesting editorial on the role of U.S. president George Bush in the revival of America’s auto industry. Bush has said he has no intention of providing the companies with a bailout. But that’s not what GM and Ford needs, according to Howes. He says the industry “needs an advocate, not a bailout.” Howes writes, “what they want is an advocate whose sweeping concept of national security in a globalized world doesn’t end with the Pentagon, the CIA and the Department of Homeland Security. It includes manufacturing, the indigenous auto industry and new fuel technology because a robust and independent industry can still be a bulwark even in the allegedly post-industrial 21st century.”
