Your suggestion complements this argument, I think, in that you are both suggesting a truly "public" banking institution of some sort, not the debt-interest driven private banking system we now have that is so favoured by the government in its service to to private sector financial sector corporations. <br /><br />Thanks for commenting.AppalledBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07513841752990102351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8614472126687082199.post-89576440826733184532012-11-09T12:26:53.100-05:002012-11-09T12:26:53.100-05:00I remain convinced that our nation-state, as suppl...I remain convinced that our nation-state, as supplier of currency (coins and bills) should now be obliged to provide the NEW currency -- digital money transfers. That's the new currency, is it not? Many institutions and corporations will not even DEAL with cash. Why are the banks profiting from digital currency when currency is a basic function of the state? A basic FREE and ACCESSIBLE to ALL regardless of income system of currency (digital) is OWED to Canadians by the Bank of Canada. These "coupons" of polymer are no longer legitimate currency when you go to pay a bill. 131220https://www.blogger.com/profile/04532536254718945854noreply@blogger.com
