This Wikidelphia idea page proposes A Municipal Bank For Philadelphia.
Why Can't Philadelphia Have Its Own Bank?
- Let's think, how can the City save money and earn money by creating its own bank?
- See the Pennsylvania Public Bank Project to connect with the people who are working on a bank for Philadelphia as well as a bank for Pennsylvania.
- Consider the Benefits For Cities and Municipalities Of a Public Bank (PDF).
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.
