I think fractional reserve is mostly a good thing. But it’s like a friendly pit bull. It’s all great until it turns on you, then it’s a world of hurt. When any business is allowed to operate at a ratio of 30 to 1 for cash outlays, it needs to be very highly and closely regulated. Because if it goes off the tracks, it’s a huge train wreck. And here we are. 5 solid years of highly unregulated fractional reserve lending. Ka BOOM!!!!
