It’s always frustrating to see leaders act based on ego....but when the leader puts the ego aside and does what’s best for their respective country....that’s when the leader is truly the best thing for the people !!!
I only knew the barest of info about it—not much more beyond college. But I became a bit obsessed after reading Marhall's speech and Buttigieg's. That Mayor Pete is so crazy smart. He knew exactly what to say that was different and intriguing. I hope he's president in my lifetime...
Wow this put so many thoughts in my head
One of them being hope!

Agreed.it was a bold and I think ultimately successful plan that was created along with Europe, not for them.
I can definitely say that if the Marshall plan wasn’t worth talking about....Imean, we wouldn’t be talking about it!!!
Very very well put and easy for someone who doesn’t know history to understand !!!
This was great for so many reasons I have to think of a response !!!
I loved this ,,, and learning about the Marshall plan (I’m with Jan)
Sadly, I am completely ignorant about The Marshall Plan so thank you for educating me!

also, I love your recommendations of who to read when it comes to history! All great suggestions. I read Cox Richardson almost every day.
Only other I would add is (now deceased) Howard Zinn.
Thanks for that recommendation, Jan! I know the name, but not much else—I'll look him up.
Check out People's History of the United STates. Well worth the read!
Thanks, I will!
Or that she suggests someone to begin with!!!! I have issues with citing 😑
