	This bank is the farthest I know of away from the US fascist banking system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	http://www.freelakotabank.com/&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	And they are NOT a fractional reserve bank which means unlike the NDB they can not stiff tax payers and currency holders if they go bust.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Central banking in N.

	Socialist, yes.&amp;nbsp; Better than the Federal Reserve System, yes. &amp;nbsp; Are tax payers on the hook for fractional reserve banking losses?&amp;nbsp; You betcha.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	This little bank just lives on the fact that the US Federal Reserve System is so hosed up.&amp;nbsp; And guess what this little bank is actually like all the other non-financial instutitions in the USA on the hook for the US Federal Reserve System anyway.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	The article failed to mention that this state run bank versus Federal run is anything but new.&amp;nbsp; Like their Rhode Island counterparts, the tax payers of North Dakota are on the hook for any losses by the bank.&amp;nbsp; The bank is smartly not a FDIC regulated institution but still practices Fractional Reserve Lending and is therefore subject to bank runs like all the other Federal Reserve Banks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	Would I prefer to deposit money here versus my banks.&amp;nbsp; It does not matter because the government at all levels is intertwined with the the banking system.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Central banking in N.
