A Public Bank would allow better lending to small local businesses which would increase jobs in Washington State.

In addition, the profits from our own State Bank could be used to improve funding for public schools and other essential State services.

A State Public Bank would also reduced the chances of tax payers being forced to pay for another trillion dollar bail out of the Mega Bank Monopolies.

Mega Bank Monopolies Crashed our economy. Let's not let them crash it again!

In 1933, FDR Progressive Democrats passed the Glass Steagall Banking Act to prevent bankers from turning our economy into a giant gambling casino. For over 60 years, Glass Steagall protected us from economic disaster. Sadly, in 1999, under pressure from Wall Street bankers who financed their re-election campaigns, Congress repealed Glass Steagall and deregulated banks. It took less than 9 years for casino capitalism to crash our economy and toss more than 10 million families out of their jobs.
