Am I the only one to be outraged at this nation's attitude towards its domestic auto industry?
From the current President on downwards, people in power in Washington D.C as well as the general public in many states across the country are displaying a profound indifference to the fate of Detroit. This apathetic posture is matched by astonishing ignorance of Motown's automakers' true importance to America's employment outlook and its overall economy.
It's not just the automakers who say so. Plenty of respected analysts have spelled out the statistics on how many million jobs depend on the auto industry, how relatively well paid these jobs are and how no other industry comes close to matching the automotive employment multiplier effect. Yet there are plenty of senators and congressman who blatantly ignore these facts.
