Amidst the cauldron of economic downturn, mid-term elections, and political instability, one idea is dominating the debate: How can we make the economy truly “affordable” for all of our citizens, not just the billionaires?
Hence, the growing support for the National Infrastructure Bank (NIB), exemplified by HR5356 in Congress. This $5 trillion (!!) public bank is empowered to immediately move the economy forward. The NIB will invest in all areas of infrastructure needs, repair/replacement, and cutting-edge technologies like passenger and high-speed rail to ramp up productivity.
Following the midterm elections, we must “hit the ground running” in November (!), to put the National Infrastructure Bank onto the agenda.
