<No, you're missing the point. If a bank loans only deposited money, it's not creating credit. >

No, that's not my point at all... and is different than this point:

<The person who deposited the money can't get it back if it's loaned out, right? >

You were asserting that banks couldn't loan out their deposits [ie. were black holes that sucked up all the economy's money]!!! Read your post and taking that money and banking is a good idea :)

If you want to discuss the problem of demand deposits vs time deposits and loaning those out that's fine, but that was not your original claim.
