So we accept that our currency is being debased by an inflation index that barely tracks real inflation, as we buy half of all mortgage bonds federally to juice home values and running QE, but we want to ban algorithms that attempt to maintain profits?

If you don't want prices to rise then perhaps a lower inflation target makes more sense. Maybe even a law that wages automatically rise with inflation. But we all know they don't want that, they would need to actually raise taxes if they did that, and housing wouldn't turn into a giant ponzi scheme that artificially boosts GDP.
