A June 29 report by the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities details that:

*At least 21 states have implemented cuts that will “restrict low-income children’s or families’ eligibility for health insurance” or otherwise reduce their access to health care services;

*At least 22 states plus the District of Columbia are cutting medical, rehabilitation, home care or other services needed by low-income, elderly or disabled persons;

*At least 24 states are cutting aid to K-12 schools and early education programs;

*At least 32 states have cut assistance to public colleges and universities, including reduction in faculty and staff, in addition to raising tuition;

*At least 40 states and the District of Columbia have made cuts affecting state government employees, including layoffs, hiring freezes, wage reductions, and delayed pay increases;

*24 states have raised taxes.

But North Dakota’s GNP has grown 56%, personal income has grown 43%, and wages have grown 34%. The state not only has no funding issues, but this year it actually has a budget surplus of $1.2 billion, the largest it has ever had.  

You CAN take action to arrest the collapse of YOUR state’s economy, simply by convincing your state legislators to adopt North Dakota’s unique policy of beating the banks at their own game. IF YOU CAN’T BEAT ‘EM, JOIN ‘EM, AND FORM A STATE BANK LIKE B.N.D., WHICH USES THE FRACTIONAL RESERVE SYSTEM TO PROTECT IT’S OWN INTERESTS instead of the insane leveraging that private banks used to create hundreds of new “easy-money billionaires” while destroying the current monetary system in the process.
