Presidential candidate Franklin D. Roosevelt told convention members that the American people deserved a “New Deal.” It took more than a decade to deliver on his promise. We need a green new deal today but hopefully sooner than a decade.
In accepting the Democratic nomination for president, Franklin D. Roosevelt promised a new deal for the forgotten man. In the midst of the Great Depression the country responded to Roosevelt s promise by electing him president four times. The ensuing legislation in the first hundred days of his administration and throughout the subsequent years as president produced a new deal that transformed the government from a laissez-faire approach to a broader role of government in the economy.

Millions of Americans have joined the ranks of the unemployed, and government relief checks and savings are running out; meanwhile, the country still needs trillions of dollars in infrastructure. Putting the unemployed to work on those infrastructure projects seems an obvious solution, especially given that the $600 or $700 stimulus checks Congress is planning on issuing will do little to address the growing crisis. Various plans for solving the infrastructure crisis involving public-private partnerships have been proposed, but they’ll invariably result in private investors reaping the profits while the public bears the costs and liabilities. We have relied for too long on private, often global, capital, while the Chinese run circles around us building infrastructure with credit simply created on the books of their government-owned banks.

Speaking at a Youth entrepreneurship and gender issues seminar in Blantyre at the weekend, Karim dared the youths to go into entrepreneurship giving an example of himself on how he started K Motors.

When you love what you do, time is not a limiting factor. When you do what you love, you never work a day in your life. Age and Gender cannot and should not limit what a person can do and achieve. Only your mindset can,” said Karim.

âIt was real. It was wrong. It was abhorrent. And it was challenged in court as a violation of Constitutional rights,â wrote Higgins in the post. âThe Supreme Court of the United States did not stop it. Lessons of history. They were 120 thousand. We are 75 million.â
