Make Congress Great Again

Through a national Capital Budget, we can revitalize America's industrial base, double our energy supply, and direct credit towards real economic growth.

As you may know, Promethean Action organizers will be heading to Washington, D.C. next week (week of March 24, 2025) to advocate for transformative policies that will revitalize America's industrial base and secure a prosperous future for generations to come.

We are excited to share with you our vision for a renewed America, as outlined below in our attached leaflet, "Make Congress Great Again."

President Trump has renewed the American covenant and rescued our republic. Our government’s Constitutional purpose is to serve the interests of the common good, not oligarchical ideologies and malthusian obsessions. This is why working class and young voters will continue voting for the new GOP. No longer is the government serving the interests of forever wars, endless bank bailouts, asset bubbles, or government vanity projects. 

The Trump tariff and tax agenda has initiated a boom in manufacturing investments, and the entire Trump economic team is geared toward reversing the trends of fifty years of globalization and deindustrialization. This will rebuild widespread American prosperity, and restore manufacturing as the basis for an advanced industrial economy.

Yet we are a nation in physical decay when it comes to heavy industrial production. While massive deregulation, tax cuts, and tariffs are critical incentives for private enterprise to make massive capital investments, private corporations are not going to organize a 21st-century nationally-integrated infrastructure platform that is required for a manufacturing superpower. 

This is where Congress is key. A national Capital Budget reinvests the people’s taxes back into the private sector, rebuilding the national commons in critical infrastructure, key strategic industries like machine-tools, and in fundamental research. With an industrial focus, the Capital Budget—versus the operations budget—can accelerate real economic growth throughout the nation. 

“Hence, since the generation that dominates our Senate and also much of our House of Representa­tives, our Congress has, in the main, lately misplaced the pivotal conception on which the future existence of our nation now depends: the concept of the Capital Budget.

“What has been lost, is a sense of the meaning of indispensable capital investment in the physical conditions of progress; it means a loss of the meaning of the investment required, not only to rescue the U.S.A., but to secure the civilized future existence of the world as a whole.

-Lyndon LaRouche, “The Lost Art of the Capital Budget” c. 2007

On energy alone we need to double power supply over the next four years—which is equivalent to 700 new gigawatt nuclear power plants, just to meet the current AI and industrial demand. We will need the equivalent of another 700 plants within the next ten years to achieve manufacturing superpower status.

Were Congress to establish a $200 billion capital fund to be managed by the National Energy Dominance Council and leveraged by the Treasury through discounted loans to regional banks, we might see trillions of dollars of economic activity allocated to the energy industry in every part of the nation via construction, supply chain investments, and manufacturing, to be implemented with national urgency.

As private industry builds new hives of advanced modern manufacturing, these complexes will require an advanced industrial ecosystem of road and rail transit, water supply and transit systems, modern power transmissions systems, and advanced fiber optics and space-based communication systems. Congress will have to ensure these projects are built, as they did with the Transcontinental rail-system and the Four Corners projects. The capital budget will be key!

And the petulant elephant in the room: for decades the Federal Reserve has run a failed, debt-fueled money printing fiasco. It is time Congress reclaim Art. 1, Sec. 8 powers, and control all new issuance of currency. Congress can then direct new national credit towards real industrial requirements, rather than redistributing national wealth via asset inflation.

Most importantly, we are a nation that lives on the frontier. Fusion energy and the colonization of Mars are projects which secure our nation’s long term defense and establish new physical platforms for the economy for centuries to come. 

Were Congress to create a capital fund of $50 billion to be managed by the Secretary of Energy for the development of commercial fusion energy by 2030—in addition to the related full-set domestic industrial supply chain, fusion recycling and heat applications, advanced propulsion systems, and extra-terrestrial energy platforms—it would soon be the greatest investment any nation has ever made. Apollo had a 1,000% ROI, Fusion Artemis could be 100,000%.

Over six decades we have wasted trillions of dollars on wars, bailouts, and government sinkholes that the American people must now pay off. Americans deserve to know that their sacrifices will ensure a proud future for their children and grandchildren, and that the steps needed to ensure this future will be enacted with urgency and war-like determination.

These investments, and the role of Congress to ensure the long term success of our nation, are critical to secure this new era of American greatness.
