The proposed National Infrastructure Bank is modeled on the principles of national banking developed first by Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton. Similar National Banks were successfully used by four great U.S. Presidents to build our nation: George Washington, John Quincy Adams, Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt

The Crisis At Hand: Not only is the nation reeling under the impact and mismanagement of the COVID crisis, but the economic fallout threatens to become a runaway train. Real unemployment is running at levels not seen since the Great Depression, and more trouble looms ahead. The autumn could witness mass bankruptcies of small and medium size businesses, deepening and increasingly permanent unemployment, mass evictions, and more economic carnage. Financial markets are zooming upward while the real economy falters, so a new huge financial crisis is in the offing.
We need a powerful economic driver which will rebuild the real industrial and manufacturing economy, and the most proven answer is a massive infrastructure program.
NIB Supporter State Senator & Rhode Island Biden Vice Chair Louis DiPalma (ProvJournal)
