Our banking system is already largely controlled by the government.

Lotsa people will look warmly on this. Banks are one of the most hated institutions in our country. Doubly so since we had to bail them out.

Dear Sandy. Go experiment in Puerto Rico first, and see how that turns out.
To: Steve1999
Great idea. I volunteer to be the test case. We’ll pool my income with AOC’s and split it down the middle. What could be fairer?
To: Steve1999
Much easier to enact negative interest rates.

The plan for nationalizing the banking system has worked so very well in Venezuela, just as it did for the Soviet Union.

There is no institution that can’t be ruined by socializing it.

Her and Bernie are already wanting to tell credit card
companies how much interest they are allowed to charge.
Is this not fascism.
Commie running dogs!

I'd like to point out that we already have a national banking system. It's called the Federal Reserve: it is the place of last resort for a bank who wants to process a check. It's expensive, which is why banks have negotiated a number of out-of-channel peering arrangements with each other for clearing checks.
At least AOC is calling for a competing bank, and not killing off the existing banks.
As long as the taxpayers don't foot part of the bill. Been there, done that, don't have the T_shirt.

Banks are one of the most hated institutions in our country.
People have always hated those who lend them moneywhen it’s time to pay them back. Anti Semitism got its start in Europe, because Jews weren’t covered by the Church’s anti-usury rules. They could and did lend money at interest. I believe the Knights Templar also were punished by kings who didn’t want to have to pay back loans.
