    The currency supply and fractional reserve lending

    What on earth has that got to do with anything about you paying your loan back?

    Because all this money was simply 'created' by the banks using their 'fractional reserve lending' scam, so it isn't real, and neither is the loan.

    Or something like that.

    Yes, money doesn't exist until it's borrowed, hence why the economy is so bad just now. Banks are not lending to small businesses, as a result no manufacture, no money to pay wages, so no money to spend in the shops.
    We are at the banks mercy, until they open their purse strings to business again were stuck in this recession.
