In 1948, the goal of the United States\u2019 Marshall plan was to rebuild war torn Europe, remove trade barriers between countries, modernize industry, fuel the continent\u2019s prosperity, and prevent the spread of Communism.
\nTo achieve that, the plan reduced interstate barriers, dropped many regulations, and incentivized productivity and the adoption of modern business procedures. This historic self-help program was financed entirely by the
\nUnited States government and was designed to provide necessities to populations in need. Today, a modern-day Marshall plan, version 2.0, is in order. This time, the existential threat is not the spread of communism, but an unseen enemy, SARS-CoV-2, 2019, known everywhere and forever as Coronavirus. And the combination of that virus with something equally as challenging: the deep political, social, and economic divisions that have weakened America\u2019s government and left its diverse citizenry unable to tap into the energy and ingenuity\u2014and shared purpose directed headlong at disaster\u2014that has long characterized our greatest moments as a nation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
