Public Banks Are ...
- Viable solutions to the present economic crises in US states.
- Potentially available to any-sized government or community able to meet the requirements for setting up a bank.
- Owned by the people of a state or community.
- Economically sustainable, because they operate like private banks.
- Able to offset tax increases with returned credit income to the community.
- Ready sources of credit for local governments, eliminating the need for large “rainy day” funds required to promote the public interest, as defined in their charters.
- Constitutional, as ruled by the U.S. Supreme Court.
