No one who has lived through the second half of the 20th century could possibly be blind to the enormous impact of exchange programs on the future of countries.

We can't renew America unless more of us, I mean all of us, are willing to join churches.

This is one way that wealthy Americans could really contribute. They could put hundreds of millions of dollars into the infrastructure bank, be a good investment for them, for their children, for their grandchildren, and they would directly contribute to revitalizing a big sector of middle-class wages in America and making our country more productive, so that we could create more opportunity. But I think that we could get a lot of grassroots support from, like, local chambers of commerce and other things if they understood exactly how this infrastructure bank would work.
