If the problems of self-governance are a lack of money, then by all means we should explore alternatives to the private banking cartel to whom each of us and our governments are perpetually indebted... a debt to a privately owned international banking system. #LocalPublicBanksInstead

Agree that local communities need local banks. The big banks took out the local Savings and Loans during 07-08 with the help of the Obama rescue plan.

We desperately need a balanced budget amendment added to the Constitution. If we eliminated most of the unconstitutional federal alphabet agencies, then the federal budget will be dramatically reduced. Revenues could then be temporarily used to wipe out the debt, followed by a permanent reduction in federal taxes.

Not a bad idea. But the debt of the national govt is largely to private mega-banks. And every penny of that debt is entirely unnecessary when the government owns and uses the powers of credit creation ... powers now held exclusively by private monopoly banks, the "too big to fail" banks.
