COMMENTARY ON THE GND GOALS
|
10. It is the duty of the Federal Government to create a Green New Deal
These words could be unfortunate. 'We the People' are enthusiastic about individual liberty and freedom to innovate and live ones life without the the involvement of government. At the same time, there is no question that people like to have leadership and the best results when things are organized and there is constructive coordination.
The role of Government in the Green New Deal should be more like the conductor of an orchestra than the CEO of a corporate organization ... and better yet, the orchestra should be playing in a well designed concert hall which enhances the sound in a meaningful way!
