Richardson to Talk “Marshall Plan” – at Noon Iowa Time
At noon today in Des Moines, Iowa, Governor Richardson will outline a plan that should include several ONE-related issues.
WASHINGTON (CNN) – New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson will outline what his presidential campaign is describing as a “21st Century Marshall Plan,” to address several issues facing the nation and the international community.
Specifically, Richardson’s campaign said he will talk on Thursday about climate change, pandemic diseases and refugee crises and “will call for doubling our foreign development assistance to 2% of our federal budget.”
“These are not just the problems of individual nations,” Richardson will say in the speech, according to excerpts provided by his campaign. “They are the problems of an independent world. We are the most powerful nation in the history of the world. Yet, we are not immune from such threats. It will take vigilance and bold action now, to preserve our safety for the future.”

Will someone tell Bill there a model he can use already, a microeconomic model designed to deliver to people rather than corrupt governments.
