Coming amidst the escalating disintegration of U.S. bridges, water systems, and power grid, the event highlighted the historic role of national banking which built our infrastructure and industry over the past two and a half centuries.   Under President George Washington, Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton created the Bank of the United States, which spawned the original \u201cinternal improvements\u201d and manufacturing of the young nation.  The same policy was replicated by the Second Bank of the United States. The treacherous President Andrew Jackson shut down the Second Bank, setting off rampant financial speculation, crises, and industrial collapse (sound familiar?).   National Banking was revived under Lincoln and propelled the United States into the forefront of infrastructure and industrial development world-wide. Telegraphs, Transcontinental Railroads, and modern bridge building all flourished.   This policy was revived under President Franklin Roosevelt in the New Deal and WWII mobilization, and then junked over the past seventy years. The results are everywhere.
