ICYMI: Rubio and Khanna Promote New Financing Proposal

That’s why we’ve joined forces to jumpstart a national project to restore American manufacturing leadership….
What would our proposal entail? First, it would establish a new committee of cabinet-level agency heads…. This committee would be charged with developing a National Development Strategy, recommending investments to improve national security, strengthen domestic manufacturing, create good-paying jobs and develop new technologies.
Second, our proposal — the National Development Strategy and Coordination Act — would give this committee the authority to direct the Department of Treasury’s Federal Financing Bank to achieve its goals.

That won’t happen without the hard work and ingenuity of private companies. But it also won’t happen without targeted investments from the federal government. Strategic public financing is an American tradition that’s behind many of our greatest national achievements. It’s time we restored it.
