"National Infrastructure Bank:
A Permanent Solution and Timely Budget Work-Around"
Abstract
The passage of time, chronic underinvestment, and climate change have left America’s public infrastructure dangerously overstretched and vulnerable. The bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) of 2021 provided billions of dollars in new Federal spending for infrastructure. While a significant start, the IIJA addressed only a small fraction of the nation’s current, unfunded needs. A $5 trillion National Infrastructure Bank, as proposed in HR4052, would fill that gap, provide technical/regulatory assistance, and turbocharge the American economy, with no need for added spending, taxes, or increases to the National Debt.
Introduction
In the landscape of industrialized economies, the United States stands as a testament to the critical role of robust infrastructure in driving economic vitality. The intricate network of transportation, digital communications, energy grids, and water systems forms the backbone of the nation’s economic engine, catalyzing growth and enhancing the quality of life.
Investment in public infrastructure is not merely a matter of maintenance or upgrade; it is a strategic imperative for economic expansion and social progress. Conversely, the failure to adequately invest in and modernize public infrastructure can have dire consequences. Stagnation in infrastructure development can serve as a precursor to broader economic malaise. Outdated or inadequate infrastructure hampers efficiency, stifles innovation, and can create obstacles that impede economic activity. The ramifications may extend beyond mere economic metrics; they can erode the fabric of communities, as deteriorating infrastructure disproportionately affects disadvantaged populations.
Businesses, particularly those reliant on efficient supply chains and logistics, encounter escalating operational costs as they navigate the repercussions of neglected infrastructure. The resulting inefficiencies not only diminish the competitive edge of businesses but also contribute to increased costs for consumers.
And competitor countries that heavily invest in critical infrastructure have a distinct advantage in economic efficiencies, bringing products to market, and growing their industrial base.
Thus, the imperative for continuous investment in public infrastructure is clear. It is a critical lever for economic stability and social equity, ensuring that both businesses and families not only survive but thrive. As we chart the course for future economic policy, prioritizing infrastructure investment is a commitment to the United States’ collective prosperity and well-being.
