Washington isn’t showing leadership on crucial business issues like health care and energy policy, GM CEO Rick Wagoner said Thursday, in a sharp criticism of the Bush administration. “Some of the things that we all believe are necessary to ensure the continued strength of the (manufacturing) sector, which I think is just vital … we just don’t see the leadership,” said Wagoner. “They’ve just taken a complete pass on doing something about the health care situation,” Wagoner said Thursday. “It’s driving jobs out of the country.” Ford ’s Mark fields expressed a similar sentiment Wednesday. “In Asia, the approach is vastly different. Governments and consumers see the auto industry as strategically important, vital to national interests and deserving of full support at every level of their national economies.”
