The problem with equating these market debt instruments with money creation is that they are merely "asset/debt" arrangements that are in balance. No money is created. On the other hand the Fed can create money by making a deposit where previously no asset existed. This is what is inflationary -- creating money where previously none existed. That is what debases the currency.
