National Infrastructure Bank: Another Trilateral Ripoff?      
By Patrick Wood
September 9, 2010

Obama's slick 2010 Labor Day speech that promised an additional Federal stimulus for a sick economy, was a ringer. Here's why -- buried in the $50 bil­lion infra­struc­ture stimulus promise is the fol­lowing statement:

   "It sets up an Infra­struc­ture Bank to leverage fed­eral dol­lars and focus on the smartest invest­ments."

Infrastructure Bank? Smartest investments?

Obama would have you think that this was his brainchild, but it is not. It will, however, effec­tively cen­tralize another key area of our economy, namely infra­struc­ture, into a gov­ern­ment run enter­prise that mostly ben­efits the pri­vate capital of the global elite, and in particular, members of the Trilateral Commission.

Infrastructure is already, funded, owned, and controlled by the government.  To me it is almost by definition to be done by the government.  Roads, Railroads, power lines, bridges, etc.... Maybe I'm missing something.
