For decades, the United States has enjoyed the strongest and most innovative economy in the world. However, America’s industrial base continues to dwindle, exposing major vulnerabilities to our economic resilience and national security.
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) and U.S. Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) introduced the National Development Strategy and Coordination Act to rebuild critical industries in the United States by increasing strategic coordination amongst federal finance programs.
Background. The bill would authorize $20 billion over 10 years to “supercharge” loans made by other federal financing facilities. The funding, controlled by the Department of Treasury’s Federal Financing Bank, would be directed by a new executive committee of cabinet-level agency heads, including the Secretaries of Treasury, Defense, Commerce, and the Administrator of the Small Business Administration, among others.
This committee would be charged with developing a National Development Strategy every four years. To execute that plan, it would further be authorized to direct agencies with existing direct loan and loan guarantee programs to set priorities for those programs consistent with the National Development Strategy.
