Every State needs a State Bank

Create a State-owned banking system whose profits stay in the state and whose loans benefit the small businesses and residents of the state.

Why is this important?

The sparsely populated state of North Dakota has had a very successful State-owned bank for decades. Their loans are made to small companies and individuals in the state. Their profits by lending out money stay in the state. I'd like to see all 50 states give it a try. The too-big-to-fail banks, incorporated in Delaware or Nevada, might actually fail to keep their strangle-hold on the American people.
