| 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. |
| xp_acctant | @ geofin - very correct. Loan is key in answering the question. |
| khalifa92 | good point |
I passed! I did not get a chance to tell you before the exam - but your site was excellent. I will definitely take it next year for Level II.
