Banking in an age of greed is fraught with usury, fraud and gaming the system for private ends. But there is another way to do banking; the neighborly approach of George Bailey in the classic movie "It's a Wonderful Life." Rather than feeding off the community, banking can feed the community and the local economy.

Hidden Agenda: The "Debt Crisis Plan" was to Strike a Blow at the National Social Safety Net by Shamus Cooke SHARE
