Need discount window at Fed
The solution to the economic calamity facing our state is the same solution for our nation. Alaska must unite with our nation to demand the creation of a new discount window at the U.S. Federal Reserve to begin a science, education and infrastructure-led recovery.
Without this reform our nation will suffer a decades long depression that can never be solved through any form of budget cutting.
Alaska requires a minimum of $5 billion per year in zero-interest federal, state, municipal and port authority infrastructure and productive capacity bonds, grants and shares leveraged through a new discount window at the Fed.
Do not vote for any candidate who will not help with this reform. Stand up and fight for Alaska. Stand up and fight for our nation.
