Loans vs Deposits
She’s looking at the PV of depository system loan assets not “loans!”… another reification error here…You can see here from the graph the MMT thesis “loans create deposits!” I suppose is true but it is not exclusive… If the Central Bank credits reserve asset balances to the depository system this will credit depository system liabilities too….

Took a little longer than I thought, and for a while it looked like nothing was going to happen to this creep because of his well placed donations to important politicians.
