Yes but when the stock market and houses begin to fall it will be incredibly deflationary. This will allow the government to print money directly without causing inflation . This money will be used to write down the debt burden. There is a lot of talk about inflation but it hasn't reached 2% and the asset markets haven't fallen yet. we have to be in deflation as The debt bubble guarantees that any mild inflation will cause the Fed to increase interest rates which causes deflation to resume. Shortly people be begging Trump to print money

When I was a kid I opened a bank account to save money from my small-town paper route. I got 3% interest, the bank loaned it out at 6%, and the banker was on the golf course by 3 pm. :-) This taught me an important lesson about how money and credit work. It seemed cool to save money. Now a whole generation is coming of age under the the bizarre distortion of prolonged ZIRP. I'd like to see interest rates back to at least 2%, to ease the savage financial repression against savers. en.wikipedia.org
