You are confusing amount of money created as opposed to amount of money spent. Two different things. If one dollar is spent ten times it is the same as one ten dollar bill spent once.
What you are claiming would mean that the more money spent the less money there would be which is absurd.
The money to pay the interest comes from the banker spending it back into the economy. Your explanation ignores that spending.
I understand what you are saying; the money is recycled into the system every time a loan is made. I am not a monetary scientist and my mathematical abilities are laughable at this stage of life, however, it is plain to me from an overview and common sense, that you cannot keep loaning money out time and again at interest and do it sustainably. You seem to be implying that the system is functional and will operate without default. This is an enormous fallacy.
At it's best it has created an enormous class of financial parasites who add nothing to the product of society; a massive drain that cannot be sustained; tremendous misallocations of resources.
