| In reply to: | Message 4919 (written by Martin Hattersley) |
Thanks for going the extra mile Martin, but the issue isnt cleared quite
yet.
The nitty gritty is now the requirement you mentioned for this new money to
be 'repaid'.
To claim the banks create this extra new money which will cover interest on
loans ( and why cant this claim also include bank charges?) you have to show
that on the repaying that it doesnt likewise reduce then the money supply
just as it increased it on its issue. If it isnt repaid/cancelled then the
banks are effectively merely writing up their profits as I said last time.
If its not using its incomes as all businesses do to pay overheads but
writies new money then its profits will double, I am sure the monetary
reformers would like to use this in their campaigns as well.
This has to be a parallel of a company which operates an overdraft facility
with its bank to pay wages. The overdraft puts new money into circulation
through employees and then it has to be repaid out of future income of the
company at which point the new money, ie not out of income already in
circulation, then at that point reduces the money supply as the repayment is
then cancelled out of existence.
You say it is much like any other business yet I am expecting it to be much
more closer to this than as your explaination.
Peter
