It's Chinatown Jake. There's no so such thing as Uniform Cost Accounting Accounting for a sovereign puzzle palace. If a central banks comes to believe people are able to game the system using the way they describe what they're doing, they simply find a new way of describing it. All you need to know is as long as monetary velocity remain extremely low, they'll continue to find new ways to make money available. Once monetary velocity picks up toward normal, all of that new money will vanish. That's what they do.

It is private debt that is truly deflationary when liquidated. If the government were to take on enough debt and eventually print to cover it this would counter the deflationary force of private debt. US assets(overvalued) might still increase but only with inflation or a bit below inflation. The wealthy would pay capital gains on illusionary gains. This might require taxing inherited capital gains wealth to keep capital in motion and put to productive use. It seems to me that emerging markets and gold do OK in either scenario(deflation or inflation) especially in a retirement account where illusionary gains don't get taxed for a long time
