> Banks do not directly loan out money from depositors, they keep that money and print(punch in numbers in a computer) 10x that amount for loaning out.

No. Only central banks can create money by printing it.

An ordinary bank (commercial, S&L, or credit union) cannot loan out more money than they take in. That's why it's called "fractional reserve" banking -- i.e., a "fraction" of deposits is not loaned out, but is instead held in reserve.

The 10-fold expansion of the money supply is caused by the multiplier effect, not by banks printing money. The only way to avoid that is for the bank to make no loans at all. Any fraction -- whether 1/10 or 9/10 -- will still lead to a multiplier effect. It's just a matter of how large you want the multiple to be.
