Please, CAPS are for emphasis not yelling.
Public banking and financial regulation are necessary things. However, the fly in the ointment of your argument is the fact that banks DO NOT LEND DEPOSITS. Instead they create NEW money with loans. And that isn’t even the deepest ECONOMIC problem of the monetary system…which is that ALL new money is created ONLY AS DEBT which enforces a monetary paradigm/APPLIED concept of DEBT ONLY….and the word “ONLY” designates it as a monopoly applied concept designates it as a monopoly paradigm…which is ENTIRELY ANALOGOUS to the Roman Catholic church’s monopoly paradigm of Salvation Via Roman Cathlic Sacraments…ONLYMONOPOLY PARADIGM OF SALVATION VIA ROMAN CATHOLIC SACRAMENTS…ONLY.
Monopolies of any kind are dominating, exclusionary and problematic because they fly in the face of the disctum that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Hence they cannot be ethically justified. This doesn’t mean there can’t be money created as debt, but breaking up that monopoly paradigm requires the signatures of every historical paradigm change which are COMPLETE conceptual opposition IOW from Debt ONLY to Debt AND Monetary Gifting and thus … because paradigms are APPLIED temporal universe concepts…temporal universe inversion of reality.
REFORMS ARE OKAY, but until one analyzes and ACTS conceptually/paradigmatically the problem WILL PERSIST because reforms are analogous to Ptolemaic Cosmology inventing epicycles to “fix” prediction of astral body movements…and thus to AVOID paradigm change.
Finally, cynicism is exposed as incorrect and irrelevant when you consider
1) that the truest of political truisms that “people vote their pocketbooks” IS TRUE and
2) the temporal universe reality is that the banks and the oligarchs are few and we the voters are many.
Finally, finally, Strategic Monetary Gifting with policies of a 50% Discount/Rebate at the various points of retail sale throughout the economic process is the best way to implement the new monetary and economic paradigm…along with the rest of the conceptually aligned reforms of UBI, Job Guarantee and Public Banking.
