Now how does money get created you may ask? Here's a simplified example. First National Bank decides to loan out 150$ to Suzy Q. Suzy uses that 150$ to purchase raw materials to make one couch. Suzy then takes couch and sells it at a mark up for 250$. That's a profit of 100$. She pays off the 5% interest. That extra cash she paid back to the bank is the money created.

This I don't understand. Suzy Q pays back $157.50. But if all the money involved is part of the current pool of money, how was any created?
