I'm still not clear on where exactly the money from QE actually appears "in the system." As interest on bank deposits at the Fed?

QE specifically refers to the bank directly buying bonds to put cash into the system when interest rates are already near the floor (normally monetary stimulus means cutting interest rates to encourage people to borrow money)

The latter is theoretically much simpler but the whole culture of the banking industry is militant against it, anyone who rises high enough to become chair of a central bank will have been brainwashed into the idea their job is to guard the monetary henhouse from the masses
