Like I said, my plan isn't perfect. I would assume that most banks would have money that they can lend out from their own assets they have developed over the years. I would also assume those that take longer term bonds from the bank would offer more stable money to be lent out. TO be truthful, I don't want my money in my checking account to be lent out by the bank - my savings account yes, as I want a little interest, but my checking account I want to be using right away and would prefer it not to be lent out.
Like I said, my plan isn't perfect. I'm open to suggestions and I'd love to hear your plans - both what you plan to personally do and what you wish government would do. I know we don't have much say over government, and that is why nothing will change - sad, as they say its a democracy for and by the people. Oh well, at least we are personally free to do choose most of our own actions (as long as you don't owe too many people money anyways :-) ).
