Replace the TBTF tax with an inflation tax

Devaluation by opportunistically erasing treasury debt from fed sheet. Seigniorage, treated as a tax is replaced by a monetary inflation expense. The result is the fed operates in a price varying environment with volatile interest charges, it need react faster, targeting loans to deposits. Absent the fed specific seigniorage tax, member banks enticed to to a bit of marginal borrowing. Time insurance moving to a separate pit.

But guv got one humongous disaster looming, they have inflation indexed everything. None of their programs computable with price fixing as the fed moves toward asynchronous  interest charges.
