Title

Congress urged to return United States to a constitutional credit system for economic recovery

Summary

A resolution urging Congress to restore a constitutional credit system to drive economic recovery.

What This Bill Does

If adopted, it would urge Congress to reenact Glass-Steagall protections and return to a national banking and credit system. It also calls for using federal credit to fund infrastructure and high-tech programs, and launching a crash program to develop nuclear fusion.

Who It Affects

• Banks and financial institutions: would be affected by new or restored Glass-Steagall protections and changes to how credit is provided and assets are managed.
• U.S. and Alabama residents: could see changes in jobs, infrastructure development (water, power, transportation), energy supply (nuclear fusion), and overall living standards if the proposed federal credit system and infrastructure programs are implemented.

Key Provisions

• Reenact Glass-Steagall protections to separate banking activities and address problematic assets in major banks.
• Return to a national banking and credit system modeled on Hamilton's Bank, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, and Lincoln's Greenbacks, giving the Treasury Department a direct role in issuing federal credit for infrastructure, industry, and agriculture.
• Use federal credit to boost productivity and living standards by funding large-scale infrastructure upgrades and high-tech investments, including water, power, transportation, and deployment of nuclear power and high-speed rail.
• Launch a crash program to bring nuclear fusion online to provide cheap, limitless power and drive new materials and industries.
