I agree Jeff. That same fellow also said this !!!!

"The same logic applies to homeowners or stockholders who borrow against their assets in order to spend. It is impossible for aggregate spending to increase because for every borrower there must be a saver. Once again, credits in the economy must equal debits.

Doesn't he miss the leverage for lending created by savings?.
