Credit unions are numerous across the nation and are owned by their members instead of investors. The elected members who serve on their governing boards have a conscience. The US government should pump money into credit unions, which would loan it out instead of hoarding it, because they haven't destroyed their balance sheets as a result of gambling in risky mortgage securities and their derivatives. This is another avenue to bring credit where it's needed, in addition to those proposed. - by BOB GERECKE
