The major difference between the FOMC and the BOJ's easing plans is that the Fed focuses more on giving support to the mortgage lending and housing market while the one by BOJ is more on increasing reserve to the banking system. Therefore, chairman Ben Bernanke termed his unconventional easing policy as 'credit easing' and the success of which is determined by credit spreads and credit availability. The Fed's policy works through the asset side of the balance sheet, while the traditional approach works through the liability side

Bank reserves = liquidity
Credit spreads (to support asset prices)= deleveraging

Small detail in a bullshite poliboard conversation, not so much if we're actually trying to talk about it like knowledgeable people.
