Agree all QEs have been a failure though nobody dares say such. The same ones that pushed through the QEs are also the same ones placing crushing regulations and uncertainty. The train left the station and nearly all of D.C. climbed on board or enough of them anyways to do the damage which has been done. I should not wonder why though. I'd go insane.

85 billion $ (stimulus spending or fed input per month) * 12 months (year) = 1.02 trillion $. Little shrug of zzz shoulders.

Well I’ll disagree on the QE as I think it has worked and has merely offset the fiscal side of the house. I do believe that the economy would be much worse without QE. We’ve been in a liquidity crunch for 5 years now (take a look at the velocity charts) and the QE has helped stave off a deflationary cycle which would be far far worse than inflation.
