SupposingThe Dream of Canada

Health Care 5
Education 2
Affordable Housing 2
Kyoto Fund 1
Municipal Infrastructure 2
Armed Forces 3
Total ($billion/year) 15

Just suppose the money-creation function were split equally between the government of Canada, on behalf of the citizens of Canada; and the private banking system. This would release $15 billion/year (approx.) to be used for the needs of Canadians.

-More good news! This would:
Reduce unemployment
Increase the GDP
Increase tax revenues for all governments, so making funds available for other projects.

It would create a win-win situation! The people of Canada would benefit immensely, and on an ongoing basis; and the private banking system would still be making considerable profits. Would this 'cause inflation'? Absolutely not! It is the total amount of money which determines prices, not who creates it.
