Introduction John Wright rewrote the out-of-print book 50 Billion Dollars and my 13 years with RFC (The Reconstruction Finance Company). It is important to conserve U.

S. history and rebuild the United States.

We preserve U. S.

history by rewriting this book so that future generations can learn from the greatest generation and how the U. S.

became the greatest nation on earth. It contains the writings of Jesse Jones, who built Houston and the United States.

Jesse Jones traveled from state to state refinancing bankrupt banks as head of the world's largest lending institution. The United States was also built through his financing and overseeing of infrastructure projects.

Hoover Dam, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and the Golden Gate Bridge are examples of infrastructure projects. It was these projects and the people who built them that made the United States a great place.

The lifeblood of the United States is blue collar workers, not Wall Street city slickers who lie cheat and steal their way to the top. As a result of recent laws enacted by Congress that starve the common man of access to healthcare, education, and a quality standard of living at a time in U.

S. history when all financial criminals are allowed to run free, stealing life, liberty, and happiness from the common man.

While the blue-collar workers pick up the check from everything like sports stadiums to bank bailouts. This book “How We Built the United States A Story Told by Jesse Jones “ is produced to educate the great people of the United States on what needs to be done again while combatting propaganda which is financed and produced to make Americans believe that there is no other way to do things than what is promoted by our media and political structure.

Jesse Jones authored this book to capture in narrative form some of the major accomplishments made by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (The United States Fourth National Bank) between its inception in 1932 and my departure from government service in 1945. Jesse Jones intended to illustrate how the government overcame economic adversity in a businesslike manner.

The operation was carried out by business and finance professionals who were not influenced by politics but were motivated by integrity, morality, and love of their country over love of themselves. The RFC authorized the expenditure of $50,000,000,000 of their money while Jesse Jones served in its service, and I wish to account for it here.
