But when a private citizen tries to stimulate the economy and save us from the ravages of deflation, everybody gets all pissy about it.

That's true, and the private citizen is increasing the money supply and not adding to the deficit. JFK tried a similar tactic by printing some US Notes instead of Federal Reserve Notes.

I read that somewhere years ago. Think he did it via an Executive Order, which hasn't been withdrawn.
