The Coalition for the National Infrastructure Bank is hosting a webinar with Steven Fenberg who has written extensively about the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and Alphecca Muttardy, a former International Monetary Fund Senior Economist and the chief economic advisor of the Coalition for a National Infrastructure Bank. They will discuss the need for a National Infrastructure Bank.
A National Infrastructure Bank Act could create a $5 trillion public bank to build infrastructure projects. The bank with no new federal taxes or debt would finance roads and bridges, power grids, high-speed rail, broadband access, large-scale water systems and affordable housing. The federal government’s enormously successful Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) from the Great Depression and World War II is the proven model.
