Wrong!Do you need some Vaseline Petroleum Jelly ease that ream job you will take for that Tank of Gasoline???Borrowing? You said money out of thin air.
Were you lying, or just stupid?
Why would I need that just because I'm pointing out your ignorance of economics?You are the one proven ignorant of how "fractional reserve lending" multiplies the money supply & increases the velocity of money, thus INFLATION!!!!

"fractional reserve lending" multiplies the money supply
Of course it does.
But the only "money out of thin air" comes from the Fed.
Most of the money in our economy is created by banks, in the form of bank deposits (the phony numbers Government allows banks to show in your account). Banks create new money whenever they make loans (many encouraged or backed by Government to ease standards). 97% of the money in the economy today is created by banks lending to (ie Credit cards, Housing, Government), whilst just 3% is created by the government treasury printing.

Yup.
