Plus Executive Order 13575
Section 1. Policy. Sixteen percent of the American population lives in rural counties. Strong, sustainable rural communities are essential to winning the future and ensuring American competitiveness in the years ahead. These communities supply our food, fiber, and energy, safeguard our natural resources, and are essential in the development of science and innovation. Though rural communities face numerous challenges, they also present enormous economic potential. The Federal Government has an important role to play in order to expand access to the capital necessary for economic growth, promote innovation, improve access to health care and education, and expand outdoor recreational activities on public lands.
Things are moving very quickly. “The Plan” from the G-20 meeting this week is already in place!
That’s a really chilling list. As usual, chock-full of ignorant, elitist leftists who know how to do everything better than “the peasants.”
