What I'm saying is that the reserve is a farce. With a 90% deposit, you can loan 90% x 9, or 810%. The reserve calculation assumes 10% is the reserve, leaving 90% for operation, but the ratio stays the same when the deposit increases.

These liabilities are not tied to real properties or assets. All of the financial assets in history do not equal the liabilities in the markets today. They may be “backed” by paper, but there is little relation to physical assets. Do you not recall the Housing bubble, the Dot Con? Were these backed?

How do you think an infinite money supply can be backed? The past 10 years would be characterized as money laundering if anyone but the Fed did it. The banks and the Fed have colluded to print the stock market up without any reflective increase in earnings. How do we have a 0% interest rate in concert with inflation? Does that make any economic sense? How are banks able to finance these massive portfolios?

There are no 90% deposits.

There are only dollar deposits.

A $1000 deposit allows $900 in loans. Why is that a problem?

Which liabilities? Be specific.

All of the financial assets in history do not equal the liabilities in the markets today.

Every liability is someone elses asset.
