that may be true, but one video at a time. the nice thing about these is their length makes each more palatable to watch/listen, especially while at work or doing various tasks.

You're referring to the conspiracy theory from the Zeitgeist movie? I thought it was true too until I realized the gaping flaw in it. The idea is that, at a Reserve Ratio (Capital Adequacy) of 10%, a bank can take a deposit of $100 and loan out $900, resulting in $1000 on the books with the required $100 (10% of 1000) in the vault. The problem is that banks can't make loans with money they don't already have. The money does not come out of thin air. The reality is the a bank can loan $90 of a $100 deposit. In fact, this still creates a Money Multiplier approaching 10x, so I can't even imagine what the money supply would look like if the conspiracy were true.
