DID YOU KNOW banks create “money” out of thin air? If you “borrow” that money which costs almost nothing to create, you must labor to pay it back with interest earned by your own sweat and savings. They are forbidden to lend depositors’ funds or their own assets. “(The) requirements imposed upon all Federally insured (FDIC) banks in Title 12 of the United States Code, section 1831n (a), prohibit them from lending their own money from their own assets, or from other depositors”.
