Very strange.... When I borrow money, I consider it a liability. Yet when a bank borrows money they consider it an asset.

Oh, I see. They're making more interest when they lend it than what they are charged for borrowing it. So there really is no liability.

And they are permitted to lend-out more money than what they have!?

What a deal! I certainly hope they don't get carried away with this.

Where does all that money come from?

Fractional what?

Can I open a bank?

(good night)
