How Wisconsin Could Turn Austerity into Prosperity: Own a Bank

Posted by Linda H on 3:20:00 PM

WI Capitol Protest by David Hoefler This article is reposted from a blog entry by Yes Magazine written by Ellen Brown
An answer to state budget woes that doesn’t need to involve sacrificing workers’ rights. There's an alternative to Wisconsin's budget deficit that doesn't involve taking away workers' rights. 

As states struggle to meet their budgets, public pensions are on the chopping block, but they needn’t be. States can keep their pension funds intact while leveraging them into many times their worth in loans, just as Wall Street banks do. They can do this by forming their own public banks, following the lead of North Dakota—a state that currently has a budget surplus.
