I'm the government. I buy your labour for $100 after tax, and you leave that in your bank account - which you have to do or you would get taxed on further spending/income which would reduce the deficit on that spending below $100.

Where's the mechanism for inflation?

It's government spending that doesn't cause a deficit that is potentially inflationary, not the deficit spending part.
