Who the hell is receiving all this money that is
created out of thin air????
:bf12:
Quoting: Trained Noticer That's not how it works. The money is very real. This is how it works - Banks have to have a certain % of cash to assets at the close of a day's trading. That's the law. If they don't have enough cash they go to The Fed (The Bank of Last Resort because banks won't lend to each other) and they borrow the shortfall in the form of an overnight 0% loan to be paid straight back when the bank opens in the morning. This is mainly happening because interest rates are so low that banks aren't making as much cash as they used to do. And where does the money from the bank of last resort come from? Thin air, they simply put the numbers into a computer and send it out to other banks. Which, in turn, fractionalise those deposits (multiply by 10) then give the original 10% back and keep the other "new" 90%. It is not money, it is not backed by anything, it is numbers representing DEBT, not money. The stupid is an epidemic!!
