They don't keep it in the sense of "let's print up $250K and buy a Ferrari".

More like - "let's take our $1million of reserves, use it to create $10 million of out thin air and loan the $10MM @ 6% interest. Then we take the interest we earned (on nothing) and buy a Ferrari with it".

Essentially the same thing.

It is there right under the freedom of contract, don't you know! What are you some kind of class envious socialist, an iconoclastic radical trying to destroy a world made by your social betters.

At this point I would settle for a bit of humility from these stumblebums. An apology and an admission that they were not really as clever as they thought they were.

I'd ask you to walk us thru the steps, but you've already run away every time I ask. It's like you're making it up as you go.
