April 6, 2025

Ellen Brown, Esq., author and Founder Public Banking Institute, Randolph Voller, President-elect Orange Chatham Association of Realtors, former Mayor Pittsboro, NC, and Alphecca Muttardy, former Senior Economist International Monetary Fund, were joined by elected officials for a national Zoom meeting March 27,2025, “National Infrastructure Bank Will Stop a Recession Dead in Its Tracks!”
This timely Zoom Town Hall unleashed a dramatic discussion among the informed participants of what can be done about the economic crisis from the standpoint of a National Infrastructure Bank.
With the U.S. economy being buffeted by a stream of conflicting reports and policies, only one clear proposal has emerged above the fray. Interest and support for the National Infrastructure Bank (NIB) has continued to surge. The interest spans both parties.
State legislatures and city and county councils are filing new resolutions of endorsement. Many are bipartisan, from Illinois to Massachusetts. There have been excellent hearings in the Georgia and Maryland legislatures.
There have been nearly 30 zoom meetings with congressional and legislative offices in the past month, and the vast majority are with Republican elected officials.
Economic forecasts from the Federal Reserve, Goldman Sachs, the International Monetary Fund and others all point to a possible recession around the corner. Contributing factors include: falling consumer sentiment, policy uncertainty, expanding government and private sector layoffs, the $36 trillion federal debt, and possible tariff blowbacks.
The National Infrastructure Bank will stop a recession dead in its tracks!!
The NIB is a $5 trillion public institution that will invest in hard infrastructure only. It will modernize everything from ports, to mass transit to high-speed rail. It will quickly replace the 10 million lead water lines causing irreparable harm to our citizens. It requires no new federal spending or taxes! This has been done before in US history.
The NIB will create 20 million or more new high-wage jobs! It can hire all those who lose their employment into great, new productive jobs, building the economy.
There is no alternative! Find out how you can help make this a reality.
