Shanearthur Posts: 87 Incept: 2010-03-12 na	Would have been nice if he references which bill/year allowed for fractional reserve banking. Great vids otherwise, though. 2012-07-18 12:44:52 Permalink

Smacktle Posts: 1370 Incept: 2009-01-20 Texas	Got all the emails for the recent vids and finally watched the first one. Only 2,000 hits or so. Not many people care. ---------- The faults of the burglar are the qualities of the financier. - George Bernard Shaw 2012-07-18 13:56:13 Permalink
Obseedian Posts: 11887 Incept: 2007-07-26 BBRY Central	I thought that we had agreed that the problem was not necessarily fractional reserve banking but the lack of collateral behind that lending. ---------- Would you give your money to these banks? http://bankimplode.com/list/troubledbank....

Pika-steph Posts: 54912 Incept: 2007-09-11 Live Free Or Die; US Army Est. 1775	Not to split hairs, but it really is a very trivial differentiation between 'fractional reserving' and the reality of 'infinite, unrestricted leverage.' One is the initial process that led directly to the other. Fractional reserving ceases being fractional when the basis goes to zero. Just saying. ---------- Stop the Looting; Start Prosecuting - http://www.FedUpUSA.org/ "The only regulation that really works is failure."--Rick Santelli 2012-07-18 15:03:30 Permalink

You know, I swear, when I posted my above statement, I nearly added the divide by zero poster. I know it's become this funny thing on TF, but that is literally what these idiots are doing. ---------- Stop the Looting; Start Prosecuting - http://www.FedUpUSA.org/ "The only regulation that really works is failure."--Rick Santelli 2012-07-18 15:07:39 Permalink

Burya_rubenstein Posts: 949 Incept: 2007-08-08	I still fail to see why we should starve if there isn't "enough" money in the system. If you're in debt, maybe. But "money" is just a bookkeeping system. The important thing to whether we starve should be whether there is enough food to go around. 2012-07-19 00:38:19 Permalink
