    1. Public banks are corrupt, private banks are efficient and trustworthy.
    2. Public banks have fake money, private banks have real money.
    3. Public banks lack capital, private banks fund infrastructure.
    4. Public bank account-holders cannot access ATMs.
    5. Public banks account-holders do not qualify for FDIC insurance.
