The Auto Czar:Someone Who Has Already Climbed That Moutain

The people who usually run dental and medical schools are doctors and dentists. Its very rare that a lawyer or engineer is put in charge of a medical or dental school. The auto czar would have to be someone who has been to the top of the mountain of the auto industry before and has experienced what he is telling and supervising other people to do. Gerald Greenwald maybe to old to run an automobile company now but he still knows how its supposed to be done since he did it successfully so for many years.
An outsider wouldnt understand the industry well enough to be a czar Running an automobile company is something you have to have a feel for. The problem with all 3 auto companies today is they dont know who to produce hit cars. The very thing Greenwald did at Chrysler. Plus he knows how a large industrial company should be run. Paul Volker is a brillant man and like Greenspan he was a great Fed Chairman but supervising the rebuilding of America's crown jewel should be left to someone who knows the industry first hand.
