Public banks can fully fund infrastructure NOW with ‘self-paying’ negative interest loans
Imagine this: because banks legally create credit out of nothing rather than “lend money,” a public bank on one computer could fully fund local schools by creating a “loan” to fund their entire school-year expenses with an interest rate of -100%, with the loan due within ten seconds of the district superintendent signing the document.
What happens?
If you don’t know, better read the first link above.
What happens: a 100% negative interest rate means the so-called “loan” is self-paying. In this example, after ten seconds the loan is extinguished, and the public bank is again fully capable of extending more credit.
And yeah, it’s legal for banks to set whatever interest rate they choose.
The point is this: creating credit and money is a public benefit that can and should create no long-term debt, full-employment, the best infrastructure we can imagine, and because infrastructure contributes more to economic output than cost of inputs, we also have falling prices. The difference between credit and money (only lawful to create at the federal level of government) is just a negative sign and positive sign on a computer, and both can work as money. The amount of what we use for money should be managed transparently so the value is as we wish.
In contrast, we have debt-based “money” created by private corporations to maximize their own profit while creating increasing and unpayable debt. It’s massive criminal fraud of our 1% in government, money, and media that our current system is “good” for us, compared with public banking benefits.
Debt-damned economics: learn monetary reform or kiss your assets goodbye.

The Government Is Spying On ALL Americans’ Digital and Old-Fashioned Communications
Anyone Who Says the Government Only Spies On Potential Bad Guys Is Sadly Uninformed
Even now – after all of the revelations by Edward Snowden and other whistleblowers – spying apologists say that the reports are “exaggerated” or “overblown”, and that the government only spies on potential bad guys.
In reality, the government is spying on everyone’s digital and old-fashioned communications.
