Most of the other shit you wrote was really stupid also, but this was the easiest to dispute.
And Obama's 1 trillion is a stimulus package (currently in the 800B range) not a bank bailout...so even if your guerrilla fractional reserve math was correct (which it isn't) it wouldn't apply to the stimulus package.
I love how you think the rest of us are idiots because you think we're blinded by the propaganda put out by all the major networks and news organizations....but you don't even bother to fact-check the way fractional reserve banking really works when one of your sources tells you that the gov't just printed 11.5 trillion dollars because of the TARP program.

Actually when
you deposit money into a bank that's what happens. The federal reserve is a bank that gets
their "reserves" via the government. The 700 billion is issued to the Fed allows them to issue their 10x on said reserve. There's a bit more involved inthe process with bonds and all but that's it put simply.
