Geopolitics and The Road

OBOR - One Road, One Belt is clearly not the solution.?Africa, where China has been very active, is sprinkled with debt, and demagoguery. China has invaded the retail markets of the nations whose infrastructure it has built. Where China has been is where the fires continue to burn:?

The World

A Little History

When a Republican freshman in the NY State Assembly, Teddy Roosevelt visited cigar makers in their NY tenements, he was appalled to see whole families suffering from eye, skin, lung ailments resulting from exposure to raw tobacco.?

After convincing Congress to withdraw the troops, [from NY] some of whom he had led in Cuba, and riding his San Juan Hill exploits to national fame —thanks to a idolizing press, Roosevelt seized on the public outrage from Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle” to set about reforming America. In his 1912 run for president, he called for:

  • Universal health insurance
  • A national public health service
  • Insurance for the elderly, the unemployed, the disabled?
  • The end of child labor

Roosevelt was not at the forefront on race, on the rights of women, or health. He endured more defeats than successes in the areas that he fought for.?

FDR

It was left to his relative, his eventual successor, FDR, to create the institutions that would lead America to unparalleled economic development after the debacle of the Smoot-Hawley trade tariffs, after the cycles of competitive currency devaluations - the race to the economic bottom that resulted in the Great Depression nationally:

Steinbeck

and WWII globally.


EDUCATION

FDR

"Education is the first role of the statesman" ~ FDR

“A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people.” - FDR?
