equal to their reserves, they'd be loaning out 50% (of deposits.) You said above "Maintain reserves? They dont do that now...."
They DO maintain reserves - they are required to maintain reserves by the FED/central bank. They aren't required to maintain 50% though....
Ummmm post directed at me was a continuation of his inane thread below, advocating for the government to repudiate all debt. If the government did that, every bank in the country would be broke (in the ensuing depression.)
