Good video. Could help all governments balance budgets. Interest on debt is one of the biggest government expenses and could basically be elliminated. To keep politicians honest (oximoron?) some limitation on outstanding debt is needed, % of GDP maybe. Reading the comments below m1armstrong is correct but most people would think patbarkley is. I encourage anyone to watch "money as debt 2" it does a good job of explaining monetary policy. Previously I had no idea on the exent of the scam.
@toodance A public banks is owned by the people through their government. It can be at a national, state, or local level. Tax proceeds from those jurisdictions can be used to capitalize the bank. The governments for which a public bank operates can fund projects without having to pay interest to the private banks, thus bringing money into circulation without increasing debt.

Blaming Indians isn't that far from blaming Muslims. After all the victims in Guantanamo are innocent scape goats-RDG The Guantanamo Files. Be nice if there were indep. bankers in ea. Congress Dist.

It is not about understanding basic math. You need to study the Fractional Reserve Banking System multiplier effect and how the expansion of the money supply occurs. Do some study about the subject before yelling.
Ironically the tea party movement is so anti-socialist it could never wrap its head around the idea of a state-run bank. It wants to privatize EVERYTHING, because they believe that nothing done has merit unless it makes money.
Its a shame that the Tea Baggers don't know they're just shills for corporate interests, willing slaves to debt.
Ahhh, If by Publicly owned you mean Govt Run. Well that's just a damned foolish thinking. Name one single institution any government run effectively and within Budget constraints ?
Other wise there are already Publicly held financial institutions called Credit Unions who function at a rate far better than any bank Public or private !
@monkeyman1140 Are they run in a cost effective manner ? And what does that have to do with your thinking that public banks would solve the financial crisis.
I think it is obvious that the only true answer would be a return to a gold standard, but of course that can't be accomplished overnight. It may take many many years. But we see the germination of that seed in the rise of precious metals prices, due to supply and demand !
This is very interesting. If I were a governor of a state and I could wave my wand, I would do it ... out of self-defense.
My preference is for publically owned money (American Monetary Act) and privately owned banks.
I'm curious about how this could be supported by the Tea Party. Generally the Tea Party distrusts government and opposses any effort by government to reach into functions that are traditionally "private" business.
@jimmyrtle "They have ears and they hear not." You either weren't listening or disinformation is your game. California could fund the projects itself if it kept state revenues in its own bank. What are you suggesting, wise guy -- that the private banksters, whose objective is profit-at-any-cost, could better determine what to created? Currently, after printing trillions of dollars for themselves, they are contracting the money supply to steal more resources at fire sale price. No moral compass!
@bbows If California kept state revenues in the bank, they'd have no money to spend. I'm suggesting Ellen Brown should have stuck with law because she doesn't know shit about finance and banking.
@jimmyrtle I have been following a number of economists who have been discussing her ideas. Apparently it's you who needs to study how money is created. Deposits are what allow banks to create loans. Why should California borrow from Wall Street "vipers" (President Andrew Jackson's word) when they can do it themselves at no interest?
Jimmy - how is money created? If you understood the answer to this, you would understand that it is the banks that have this authority because they can loan $9 with only $1 of reserves. It's essentially an accounting mechanism that allows them to do this. A State Bank of CA would have authority to create money out of the assets it has on hand. This is Ellen Brown significant and worthy insight.
"If you understood the answer to this, you would understand that it is the banks that have this authority because they can loan $9 with only $1 of reserves"
$10 in deposits allows $9 in loans and $1 in reserves.
@patbarkley According to the Federal Reserve and its own pamphlets, fractional reserve lending would allow for $90 in loans on $10 in deposits. This is how private banks have come to control sovereign currency.

@bbows Exactly, what you have explained has a long and dark history in this country and indeed much of the world. Just remember the arrogant and self serving ravings of the third richest man (Andrew Mellon) in 1913; "in a depression, assets return to their rightful owners". Their objective is to bankrupt the states so they can implement their third world style austerity measures, while consolidating their own economic power.
@jimmyrtle You didn't pay attention: CALIFORNIA loans the money on the basis of the State's own money, which is NOT borrowed from anyone. It's the deposited receipts of taxes and fees, and used according to the standard ten to one leveraged rate of marginal loans.
"You didn't pay attention: CALIFORNIA loans the money on the basis of the State's own money"
Yes, if California put $1,000,000 of their money in a bank, they could loan 90%, or $900,000.
" and used according to the standard ten to one leveraged rate of marginal loans"
Leverage happens when you borrow money. If you want to lend more than the $1,000,000 allows (90%) they'd have to borrow (accept deposits) and could lend 90% of those deposits as well.
The "Tequila Trap" is the contemporary version of what Henry Carey and the American nationalists warned against in the nineteenth century when they spoke of the dangers of opening a country's borders to "free trade." Carey said sovereign nations should pay their debts in their own currencies, issued Greenback-style by their own governments.
