By Serena LapointeI've always been a believer in life-long learning. Nev-

er being too old to learn something new, unlike the 'can't teach an old dog new tricks' line. Learning is something that we need to take advantage of and scoop up like ice cream and load it up on the cone of life. When given the chance to see a new angle of a topic we thought we knew about, we should jump at it. Whether or not, in the end, we change our personal view on the topic, doesn't matter. Being open to the possibility is what does.

On Monday June 27th, our town councillors voted 4-1 in favour of having a public information night concern-

History of the Town of Mayerthorpe


by Jeanette (Grigg) Lysachok

Pictures tell great stories so I have, therefore, chosen this way of telling for the most part the story of May-erthorpe. In many cases I was unable to obtain facts re-garding the construction and ownership of some of our original buildings. I wanted the Town History told on the lighter side so have played down some of our sadder history such as serious fi res and illness.

Many people have aided in the compiling of this story and I thank them all sincerely. Leo Crockett, with the help of his father's records and pictures, gave me the start. It would seem that Mr. L.O. Crockett Sr. foresaw the compiling of this history because of the effi cient way he recorded his pictures. He will long be remembered by us all.

Mayerthorpe is a friendly, prosperous town of 1500. Located 83 miles northwest of Edmonton on Highway No. 43. It is the centre of a good mixed farming area. The area was settled in the early 1900's by stouthearted men and women who saw this as a good place to set

This Month in Whitecourt


Whitecourt Council Month in ReviewRenovations at the Whitecourt Curling Rink are well

underway. $400,000 has been budgeted for the project, and to date a new ice plant has been installed, electrical and mechanical upgrades have been initiated, and inte-rior renovations have begun. The outside of the building will also be enhanced by the installation of cladding that will match the exterior of the Twin Arenas, Community Resource Centre and Allan & Jean Millar Centre. The renovation project is scheduled for completion this fall.

The Whitecourt Mountain Bike Association has been approved to develop and enhance the Cougar Ridge Path for use as a mountain bike trail. The trail is located south of the powerline on the Town’s southern bound-ary. The Association will be building new trail features, including the construction of a single track bridge over the creek to connect to the Town’s walking trail system. Cougar Ridge Path will remain a multi-use trail, and al-ternate routes around the mountain bike features will be constructed. The trail will also include signs indicating the trail feature’s degree of diffi culty, and safety rules.

The Town of Whitecourt will be offering a free Swim To Survive Program for the community. As a communi-ty surrounded by water, and with a large demographic of outdoor enthusiasts, water safety and skills are important

Why Banks Aren't Lending: The Silent Liquidity Squeeze

by Ellen Brown

Why aren’t banks lending to lo-cal businesses? The Fed’s decision to pay interest on $1.6 trillion in “ex-cess” reserves is a chief suspect.

Where did all the jobs go? Small and medium-sized businesses are the major source of new job creation, and they are not hiring. Startup busi-nesses, which contribute a fi fth of the nation’s new jobs, often can’t even get off the ground. Why?

In a June 30 article in the Wall Street Journal titled “Smaller Businesses Seeking Loans Still Come Up Empty,” Emily Maltby reported that business owners rank access to capital as the most important issue fac-ing them today; and only 17% of smaller businesses said they were able to land needed bank fi nancing. Busi-nesses have to pay for workers and materials before they can get paid for the products they produce, and for that they need bank credit; but they are reporting that their credit lines are being cut. They are being pushed instead into credit card accounts that average 16 percent inter-est, more than double the rate of the average business loan. It is one of many changes in banking trends that have been very lucrative for Wall Street banks but are killing local businesses.

Why banks aren’t lending is a matter of debate, but the Fed’s decision to pay interest on bank reserves is high on the list of suspects. Bruce Bartlett, writing in the Fiscal Times in July 2010, observed:

Economists are divided on why banks are not lend-ing, but increasingly are focusing on a Fed policy of paying interest on reserves — a policy that began, inter-estingly enough, on October 9, 2008, at almost exactly the moment when the fi nancial crisis became acute. . .

During the last news cycle, two of the main themes dealt with by the mainstream media created an exceedingly ironic situation when juxtaposed. On the one hand, the voicemail hacking crimes of News of the World and other tabloid missteps were extensively covered. On the other, the seemingly never-ending debt crises of the world came to the fore once again, with supposedly dire situations in U.S. and Greece. The irony comes in when comparing the mainstream media castigation of the tabloids to the reporting on the debt.

During the criticism of the tabloids, the mainstream media repeatedly stated the importance of newspaper ethics and speaking “truth to power”. Except the mainstream media is not really interested in speaking truth to power when it comes to reporting on the real causes of most debt. As bad as it is for journalists to hack into private voicemail systems, the damage to public trust and social institutions caused by this is nothing compared to the damage being caused by mountains of what is largely odious debt. Indeed, extensive coverage of relatively minor stories by the mainstream media,

A man was just waking up from anesthesia after sur-gery, and his wife was sitting by his side. His eyes fl uttered open and he said, “You are beautiful.” Then he fell asleep again. His wife had never heard him say that, so she stayed by his side. A few minutes later, his eyes fl uttered open and he said, “You are cute!” The wife was disappointed because instead of “beautiful,” it was now “cute.” She said, “What happened to ‘beautiful’?”

Her husband replied, “The drugs are wearing off!”

ing water fl uoridation. This meeting will take place on September 22nd at the Seniors Circle starting at 7 pm. They are bringing in 2 medical professionals to discuss both sides of this issue. One will be a representative of Alberta Health, yet to be named and the other will be Dr. James Beck, Professor Emeritus of Medical Biophysics from the University of Calgary. This is an awesome op-portunity available to our community. Our councillors have the opportunity to educate themselves and decide if Whitecourt can do better for the health of the com-munity. In order for them to make a decision that affects both the healthy and unhealthy members of Whitecourt, they need information. You can't decide something without fi rst weighing the risks for everyone involved. For example, people in Whitecourt with poor health are at higher risk of being affected by consumption of fl uo-ride. People with impaired kidney function are unable to fi lter out fl uoride the way healthy individuals can and therefore consuming fl uoridated tap water can seriously harm their already fragile health. Is it fair to say that the risks are justifi ed? Can we accept possible harm on others as worth the minimal benefi t received? Our coun-cillors will participate in this meeting and I know they invite you to do the same.

Since bringing this issue up back in February, my main point has always concerned the CONSUMPTION of fl uoride, not the act of using it in general. It isn't about condemning its use, but simply using it properly. That's the myth in this whole thing and so many peo-ple are being placed in a category of "fear mongerer" simply by bringing up the topic of water fl uoridation. I'm not running around trying to scare you, I am simply bringing up information that continuously goes unno-ticed. Information that can help us be better, teeth and all! We are told not to swallow our toothpaste and we shouldn't swallow artifi cial fl uoride from the tap either. Enough studies exist that SHOULD be enough for us to say "maybe there is a better way, just incase we are being harmed" because I know that none of us would knowingly hurt ourselves or our children. Whitecourt could become a leader in dental care, for other commu-nities to model themselves after. By ending our water fl uoridation, we can save roughly $20,000/year, much more if you account for the upkeep required at our plant because of the damage caused by the artifi cial fl uoride. That $20+ thousand can be put towards making fl uo-ride products available to low income families, and pro-vide proper information concerning dental health for the whole community. Putting fl uoride in the water doesn't teach anyone how to properly take care of their teeth. It doesn't teach children the importance of fl ossing, eating healthier foods or brushing for longer then 5 seconds. It has already been said by Health Canada that fl uoride's benefi t comes from TOPICAL use and NOT systemic; which means that swallowing it isn't helping our teeth

A college student challenged a senior citi-zen, saying it was impos-sible for their generation to understand his. “You grew up in a different world,” the student said. “Today we have televi-sion, jet planes, space travel, nuclear energy, computers…”

Taking advantage of a pause in the stu-dent’s litany, the geezer said, “You’re right. We didn’t have those things when we were young; so we invented them! What are you doing for the next generation??”

to the lives of our residents. The objective of the program is to enhance community safety by providing the opportu-nity for adults and children to gain basic water skills in the event that they unexpectedly fall into deep water. Further information on the program is available at the Allan & Jean Millar Centre and will be advertised in the fall edition of the Community Spectrum.

The design concept for the new Splash Park at Rotary Park has been fi nalized. The new water feature includes three different play zones: Discovery Bay, Adventure Bay, and Action Bay. The various interactive play environments provide activities for children of various ages and activity

levels. The new Splash Park will also include a rubber-ized concrete play surface; fully programmable controls, nozzles, timers and sensors; and amenities will include a sun shelter and benches for parents. The new Splash Park is scheduled to be complete by the end of September.

A review was conducted on municipally operated traffi c signals throughout Whitecourt, and a number of enhancements will be made to controlled traffi c intersec-tions this summer as part of the 2011 Street Improvement Program. Proposed enhancements include upgrading sig-nal timing programs and installing wide angle camera sys-tems. All upgrades will be completed by the end of Sep-tember 2011.

such as the tabloid scandal, are partially meant to distract and divert the attention of readers from the more serious issues.

It’s also probably safe to say that the News of the World and its owner Rupert Murdoch are being dealt with particularly harshly because of the so-called right wing stance of their information products, with Fox News being one holding. Murdoch also famously broke the power of the print unions in his early years in England. The unreported story of ECHELON is another facet of the hypocrisy. According to Washington journalist Bill Blum, the English based ECHELON is a “network of massive, highly automated interception stations” that is “the greatest invasion of privacy ever.”

In any case, during its extensive coverage of national debt and other fi nancial news, the mainstream media never mentions that, for the most part, the debt crushing nations and people is not a naturally occurring phenomenon. It was instead created through dubious bookkeeping entries in the world fi nancial system. The great majority of money is created from nothing, as debt, at compound interest. The money to pay the compound interest does not exist until it is created as more debt at more compound interest. Mathematically, this must lead to more and more debt over time, even though the (Continued on page 17)

creditor has given nothing of value. It is the very outrageousness of the practice that

allows its continuance since people are naturally reluctant to believe they could be victims of such a situation. This make-believe debt has become our reality through a massive propaganda campaign, with the chief perpetrator being the mainstream media. The result is so-called austerity programs where both society and the environment are given short shrift in the battle for global dominance by those who have control over the creation of money.

A historical example of the debt illusion is the Great Depression, where it was held to be impossible to hire men to engage in productive work because it was a so-called obvious ‘fact’ that there was not enough money available. Yet as soon as WWII started, virtually unlimited funds suddenly appeared so that both men and women could be hired, to engage in destructive work. No explanation was given for this miraculous change. However, the unstated reality is that whatever is physically possible is fi nancially possible. Money is merely a symbol. If there are people and materials to build something, saying it can’t be done because of a lack of money is like saying an airline must run its planes half full because it cannot print enough tickets.

(Continued from page 16) people clearly realize what is at stake here – to the creation of money by counterfeiters, so rightly condemned by law.” However, although there might be little difference between counterfeiters and banks in the money creation process, the motivations are very dissimilar, with many in the establishment fi nancial fraud actually working toward a higher purpose.

To reiterate some concepts covered in previous columns, the globe still runs largely on the rule of ruthlessness, rather than the rule of law. Essentially, the main thrust behind the money fraud is to create a world government through a supranational fi nancial (Continued on page 23)

structure that can control sovereign governments. The goal is to create a solution to the age-old problem of war.

This idea of super-elites working towards a world government is often expressed as conspiracy theory. The reality is that it is conspiracy fact. As previously written, ultimate insiders David Rockefeller, Carroll Quigley, Arnold Toynbee and others have admitted their aims, in no uncertain terms, in their own words. These are not books written by conspiracy researchers, but by the insiders themselves and are readily available through the Internet or, in some cases, the Alberta library system.

A main problem is that while some super-elites work towards ending traditional war, our current money system is set up to create a continuous war between individuals and groups within nations. In doing so, ethics is being selected out from the general population. Money to pay the compound interest on the debt created from nothing is not created fast enough for everyone to pay both their debt and the interest due. The result is that even when there is more than enough for all, we are still forced by this money system to fi ght each other in order to get enough to fi nancially survive.

Economist Bernard

care must be taken not to create too much money, which would lead to infl ation. However, today’s continuous structural infl ation is caused by the need to keep increasing the money supply to pay compounding interest on debt.

Well known economist John Kenneth Galbraith is on record as stating “[t]he process by which banks create money is so simple that the mind is repelled.” Nobel laureate economist Maurice Allais summed up the situation well when he stated “In essence, the present creation of money, out of nothing by the banking system, is similar – I do not hesitate to say it in order to make

Construction of Beaver Lumber, 1920. Pictured are Sam and Willis White and Floyd Bish.

He made a trip to Edmonton and talked with the Merchant's Bank of Canada manager. He convinced the manager that it was the place to build a bank. His judgement was followed and a structure approximately 12' x 16' was erected on the present site of the Toronto Dominion Bank. This bank building was the fi rst in the townsite. Erected in the fall of 1919, this was quickly followed by Crockett's General Store and a small hotel, located at its present site, operated by C.W. Bish. Not long after, a lumber yard was opened and business grad-

ually came in, as more settlers opened up the country. When the original Post Offi ce, known as "Little

Paddle" (near the Alvin O'Shea farm) was closed in 1920 after eight years of service, it was necessary to name the townsite. So a meeting of James Clark, John Grigg, Bill

Chappin, C.W. Bish and Leo Crocket Sr. was held for this purpose. Those people present wanted to name the townsite "Crocket" but Leo Crocket disagreed hear-ing it would be confusing. Therefore, they considered the name "Mayerthorpe", which had been suggested to them by postal authorities. The word "Mayer" was the surname of Robert Mayer, the fi rst postman in this area, while the suffi x "thorpe" means "little village." This suggestion proved satisfactory to the concerned businessmen, and the name "Mayerthorpe" was offi -cially registered. John Grigg became postmaster and

mayor. The original hotel, built by Mr. Bish, was never de-

stroyed but added to over the years and still forms part of the Hub Hotel today.

1920 saw the construction of the Frontier Lumber Co. and the opening of a livery barn owned by Jack Astle at the south end of town. By 1923 more buildings stood on "main street". These included Nicholl's Hub Restau-rant and Louis Poelvoorde's store, with the fi rst dance hall upstairs. In 1927 Mayerthorpe was incorporated as a village.

(Continued from page 17)Lietaer explains “I have come to the conclusion that greed and fear of scarcity are in fact being continuously created and amplifi ed as a direct result of the kind of money we are using. For example, we can produce more than enough food to feed everybody, and there is defi nitely enough work for everybody in the world, but there is clearly not enough money to pay for it all. The scarcity is in our national currencies. In fact, the job of central banks is to create and maintain that currency scarcity. The direct consequence is that we have to fi ght with each other in order to survive.”

“Money is created when banks lend it into existence. When a bank provides you with a $100,000 mortgage, it creates only the principal, which you spend and which then circulates in the economy. The bank expects you to pay back $200,000 over the next 20 years, but it doesn't create the second $100,000 - the interest [in time]. Instead, the bank sends you out into the tough world to battle against everybody else to bring back the second $100,000.” It’s like a game of musical chairs, where the loser can lose their house. Imagine the ethics that would develop in this innocent game, if the penalty was the same.

Here again, the dynamic above is fact,

Try to regain your self-confi dence in the next few days.VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, if you're looking for a new romantic relationship you could fi nd that you have plenty of suitors this week. It's almost as if they are all coming out of the woodwork.LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23You had really get a second opinion on the way you are handling your fi nances, Libra. Credit card usage could put you in a bunch of trouble if you are not careful. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Open up your mind to new possibilities, Scorpio.

Hire people, like a housekeeper, who can help with some of the things you don't enjoy doing.AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18The to-do list may seem never-ending, Aquarius. All it takes is tackling one thing each day for that list to shrink dramatically. And there are always people who are willing to help.PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20There is more than meets the eye to you, Pisces. This week you will prove everyone wrong when you tackle something amazing.



(Continued from page 23)not conspiracy theory. The statement above can be verifi ed by offi cial records and basic math. Despite not making the mainstream media pages, myriad accredited professionals repeat the basics of the extremely important topic that Mr. Lietaer is covering. Bernard Lietaer himself spent fi ve years at the Central Bank in Belgium, where his fi rst project was the design and implementation of the single European currency system. He was president of Belgium's Electronic Payment System, developed technologies for multinational corporations to use in managing multiple currency environments, taught international fi nance at the University of Louvain and was the general manager for one of the largest and most successful offshore currency funds. In short, while the mainstream media routinely portrays monetary reformers as being uninformed and sometimes kooky, the opposite characterization would be closer to the truth.

The tools of the super-elites, such as higher levels of government and our mainstream media, do a thorough job of trying to improve society by pointing out the importance of social responsibility, respect for the individual, concern for the environment and so on. Yet both the social and ecological situations are often degrading, rather than advancing. This is not surprising, if one harks back to Lietaer’s example of everyone

battling for fi nancial survival. Those in secure jobs might be able to sit back and engage in higher work, but more and more, people have to concentrate on putting bread on the table fi rst, before giving much more than lip service to higher social and environmental ideals.

It can be argued that social responsibility has actually been in overall decline for the last 40 years or so. This would fi t with moves in the money world to exacerbate the debt situation at that time. For example as late as 1973, the publicly owned Bank of Canada (B of C) was creating 23% of this nation’s money supply; wherein any interest charged went back into public coffers. Now the B of C is creating less than 5% of the money supply, largely through the printing of physical dollars.

Where it all ends up is that while the money power works towards ending war at the international level, it is selecting out ethics at the national levels. What is more, the propaganda to keep the situation going is dumbing the general population in regards to real world economics (which has very little to do with the smoke and mirrors of the current world fi nancial system). In short, the money power is creating a highly unstable situation in which should they reach their goal of world government, it will be a world government that is not democratic and doomed to a relatively short life.

a fast moving, complex world, a truly economically aware, informed citizen is a requirement.

At one time, opposing civilizations would often engage in genocidal massacres of the losing side during warfare. However, as time went on, certain rules were developed to separate combatants from non-combatants. This perhaps reached its apex in some battles of the nineteenth century, and went downhill during WWII, before starting a comeback. Perhaps some lessons can be taken from this history of warfare where general populations are not targeted. During the economic warfare the super-elites are engaged in, they could similarly develop strategies so that their fi nancial fraud seeks to avert harm to general populations.

Mr. Lietaer gives the basic starting point for a solution when he states “[w]hile economic textbooks claim that people and corporations are competing for markets and resources, I claim that in reality they are competing for money - using markets and resources to do so. So designing new money systems really amounts to redesigning the target that orients much human effort” (emphasis added). While Lietaer advocates local currencies to make up for the defi ciencies in national currencies, many other solutions could also be possible.

The main aim of any successful solution would be to shelter local populations from the ethics destroying math of the current debt/compound interest money system. The super-elites could continue their battle for global dominance using the current fi nancial system at the international level, as they work to break down national sovereignty to the degree that war can be ended. By heeding Lietaer’s advice, they could do so without further damaging and destroying the ethics of general populations. Of course people would still battle for riches in an economy with an honest and stable money system. However, as Lietaer says, this dynamic would not be needlessly amplifi ed as it is by our current unstable, dishonest money system and its unpayable

the way we initially thought it would. So why sit back and continue a practice that we now know isn't doing the job we thought it was, when we could be putting that small yearly budget to big use in our community?

I invite you all to come out and fi ll the Seniors Cir-cle on Thursday September 22nd starting at 7 pm. Ask questions, get answers, hear information that you may not know about, from both sides. Alberta Health's repre-sentative and Dr. Beck are traveling to Whitecourt to give us this opportunity. Alongside our town councillors, we as a community need to come together and participate regardless of personal positions. You might change your mind or you might reinforce your current stance. Either way its worth it. - [email protected]

Historically, the Fed paid banks nothing on required reserves. This was like a tax equivalent to the interest rate banks could have earned if they had been allowed to lend such funds. But in 2006, the Fed requested permis-sion to pay interest on reserves because it believes that it would help control the money supply should infl ation reappear.

. . . Many economists believe that the Fed has unwit-tingly encouraged banks to sit on their cash and not lend it by paying interest on reserves.

At one time, banks collected deposits from their own customers and stored them for their own liquidity needs, using them to back loans and clear outgoing checks. But today banks typically borrow (or “buy”) liquidity, either from other banks, from the money market, or from the commercial paper market. The Fed’s payment of inter-est on reserves competes with all of these markets for ready-access short-term funds, creating a shortage of the liquidity that banks need to make loans.

By inhibiting interbank lending, the Fed appears to be creating a silent “liquidity squeeze” — the same sort of thing that brought on the banking crisis of September 2008. According to Jeff Hummel, associate professor of economics at San Jose State University, it could happen again. He warns that paying interest on reserves “may eventually rank with the Fed's doubling of reserve re-quirements in the 1930s and bringing on the recession of 1937 within the midst of the Great Depression.”

The Travesty of the $1.6 Trillion in“Excess Reserves”

The bank bailout and the Federal Reserve’s two “quantitative easing” programs were supposedly in-tended to keep credit fl owing to the local economy; but despite trillions of dollars thrown at Wall Street banks, these programs have succeeded only in producing moun-tains of “excess reserves” that are now sitting idle in Federal Reserve bank accounts. A stunning $1.6 trillion

in excess reserves have accumulated since the collapse of Lehman Brothers on September 15, 2008.

The justifi cation for TARP — the Trouble Asset Re-lief Program that subsidized the nation’s largest banks — was that it was necessary to unfreeze credit markets. The contention was that banks were refusing to lend to each other, cutting them off from the liquidity that was essential to the lending business. But an MIT study re-ported in September 2010 showed that immediately af-ter the Lehman collapse, the interbank lending markets were actually working. They froze, not when Lehman died, but when the Fed started paying interest on excess reserves in October 2008. According to the study, as summarized in The Daily Bail:

. . . [T]he NY Fed's own data show that interbank lending during the period from September to Novem-ber did not "freeze," collapse, melt down or anything else. In fact, every single day throughout this period, hundreds of billions were borrowed and paid back. The decline in daily interbank lending came only when the Fed ballooned its balance sheet and started paying inter-est on excess reserves.

On October 9, 2008, the Fed began paying interest, not just on required bank reserves (amounting to 10% of deposits for larger banks), but on “excess” reserves. Reserve balances immediately shot up, and they have been going up almost vertically ever since.

By March 2011, interbank loans outstanding were only one-third their level in May 2008, before the bank-ing crisis hit. And on June 29, 2011, the Fed reported excess reserves of nearly $1.57 trillion – 20 times what the banks needed to satisfy their reserve requirements.

Why Pay Interest on Reserves?Why the Fed decided to pay interest on reserves is

a complicated question, but it was evidently a desper-ate attempt to keep control of “monetary policy.” The Fed theoretically controls the money supply by control-

ling the Fed funds rate. This hasn’t worked very well in practice, but neither has anything else, and the Fed is apparently determined to hang onto this last arrow in its regulatory quiver.

In an effort to salvage a comatose credit market after the Lehman collapse, the Fed set the target rate for Fed funds — the funds that banks borrow from each other — at an extremely low 0.25%. Paying interest on reserves at that rate was intended to ensure that the Fed funds rate did not fall below the target. The reasoning was that banks would not lend their reserves to other banks for less, since they could get a guaranteed 0.25% from the Fed. The medicine worked, but it had the adverse side effect of killing the Fed funds market, on which local lenders rely for their liquidity needs.

It has been argued that banks do not need to get funds from each other, since they are now awash in reserves; but these reserves are not equally distributed. The 25 largest U.S. banks account for over half of aggregate re-serves, with 21% of reserves held by just 3 banks; and the largest banks have cut back on small business lend-ing by over 50%. Large Wall Street banks have more lucrative things to do with the very cheap credit made available by the Fed that to lend it to businesses and con-sumers, which has become a risky and expensive busi-ness with the imposition of higher capital requirements and tighter regulations.

In any case, as noted in an earlier article, the excess reserves from the QE2 funds have accumulated in for-eign rather than domestic banks. John Mason, Professor of Finance at Penn State University and a former senior economist at the Federal Reserve, wrote in a June 27 blog that despite QE2:

Cash assets at the smaller [U.S.] banks remained rel-atively fl at . . . . Thus, the reserves the Fed was pumping into the banking system were not going into the smaller banks. . . . [B]usiness loans continue to “tank” at the smaller banking institutions.

Local Business Lending Depends on Ready Access to Liquidity

Without access to the interbank lending market, lo-cal banks are reluctant to extend business credit lines. The reason was explained by economist Ronald McKin-non in a Wall Street Journal article in May:

Banks with good retail lending opportunities typi-cally lend by opening credit lines to nonbank custom-ers. But these credit lines are open-ended in the sense that the commercial borrower can choose when—and by how much—he will actually draw on his credit line. This creates uncertainty for the bank in not knowing what its future cash positions will be. An illiquid bank could be in trouble if its customers simultaneously decided to draw down their credit lines.

If the retail bank has easy access to the wholesale in-terbank market, its liquidity is much improved. To cover unexpected liquidity shortfalls, it can borrow from banks with excess reserves with little or no credit checks. But if the prevailing interbank lending rate is close to zero (as it is now), then large banks with surplus reserves be-come loath to part with them for a derisory yield. And smaller banks, which collectively are the biggest lenders to SMEs [small and medium-sized enterprises], cannot easily bid for funds at an interest rate signifi cantly above the prevailing interbank rate without inadvertently sig-naling that they might be in trouble. Indeed, counterpar-ty risk in smaller banks remains substantial as almost 50 have failed so far this year.

The local banks could turn to the Fed’s discount window for loans, but that too could signal that the banks were in trouble; and for weak banks, the Fed’s discount window may be closed. Further, the discount rate is triple the Fed funds rate.

As Warren Mosler, author of The 7 Deadly Innocent Frauds of Economic Policy, points out, bank regulators have made matters worse by setting limits on the amount of “wholesale” funding small banks can do. That means they are limited in the amount of liquidity they can buy (e.g. in the form of CDs). A certain percentage of a bank’s deposits must be “retail” deposits – the deposits of their own customers. This forces small banks to com-pete in a tight market for depositors, driving up their cost of funds and making local lending unprofi table. Mos-ler maintains that the Fed could fi x this problem by (a) lending Fed funds as needed to all member banks at the Fed funds rate, and (b) dropping the requirement that a percentage of bank funding be retail deposits.

(Ellen Brown from page 29)Paying interest on reserves was intended to prevent

“infl ation,” but it is having the opposite effect, contract-ing the money and credit that are the lifeblood of a func-tioning economy. The whole economic model is wrong. The fear of price infl ation has prevented governments from using their sovereign power to create money and credit to serve the needs of their national economies. In-stead, they must cater to the interests of a private bank-ing industry that profi ts from its monopoly power over those essential economic tools.

Whether by accident or design, federal policymak-ers still have not got it right. While we are waiting for them to fi gure it out, states can nurture and protect their own local economies with publicly-owned banks, on the model of the Bank of North Dakota (BND). Currently the nation’s only state-owned bank, the BND services the liquidity needs of local banks and keeps credit fl ow-ing in the state. Other benefi ts to the local economy are detailed in a Demos report by Jason Judd and Heather McGhee titled “Banking on America: How Main Street Partnership Banks Can Improve Local Economies.” They write:

Alone among states, North Dakota had the where-withal to keep credit moving to small businesses when they needed it most. BND’s business lending actually

grew from 2007 to 2009 (the tightest months of the cred-it crisis) by 35 percent. . . . [L]oan amounts per capita for small banks in North Dakota are fully 175% higher than the U.S. average in the last fi ve years, and its banks have stronger loan-to-asset ratios than comparable states like Wyoming, South Dakota and Montana.

Fourteen states have now initiated bills to establish state-owned banks or to study their feasibility. Besides serving local lending needs, state-owned banks can pro-vide cash-strapped states with new revenues, obviating the need to raise taxes, slash services or sell off public assets.

Editor's Note: The ATB was meant to be like the BND described, but unfortunately this did not occur.
