AlexYuen for $SS to increase, there must be new inputs to the banking system. left pocket pays right pocket does not create new $.
cahiz84 checks and credit cards are not money
neenalisa will the money supply increase if my parents gave me cash of $200 instead of a check?
geofin Only if they took a loan. Borrowing creates new money.
