    I'm clearly no economist, but the idea that my bank can lend out like $15 for every $1 it has in deposits seems strange to me.

Exactly this is what worries me and it is the exact same problem which the little girl talked about. (shamelessly ripped from thenewgreen's reply)

I'd like to see this changed for a safer economical system, but it seems I would like to see quite a lot changed...
