In this timely forum, Ellen Brown, Founder and CEO of the Public Banking Institute, Alphecca Muttardy, professional macroeconomist, and New Mexico State Senator William Tallman engage in a lively discussion entitled “Stop Inflation in Its Tracks! Role of the National Infrastructure Bank”

This forum addresses the underlying causes driving the prices we see in our everyday lives “through the roof”.  Federal Reserve interest rate hikes and off-loading the bond portfolio may have an impact, or they may trigger a dramatic downturn.  The discrepancy between the immense monetary aggregates and diminished productive output lies at the center of the mess. We need to launch a massive industrial buildup.  

The $5 trillion National Infrastructure Bank (NIB), as embodied in H.R. 3339 currently before the US Congress, can drive that policy. 

The NIB will create tens of millions of new high-wage jobs, build everything not in the federal budget, and supercharge industrial expansion. We must build our way out of the crisis, before the bottom falls out.
