I'm sorry but why do you ignore the $50 trillion in private debt, possibly 1/2 which will be destroyed in the coming 10 years. Bank capital is being replenished for obvious reasons but it doesn't negate the fact that the capacity for banks to lend will be severely curtailed in the future and the desire of the populace to take on that debt will be as well. If Obama and the Fed can transfer that much debt into the public sector than at best you are at a standstill. People are already crowing about $1 trillion deficits when that won't be nearly enough. That is deflationary.
