...as for the QE effect on the economy = devastating in the long run because none of the liquid Cash flows through into building industry but into financial speculation (finance capitalism).
...the Fed argument for QE (wealth effect) is fundamentally wrong in the long run
...of course it all depends on what side of the fence one sits (since WW2, the buddies of 'F. I. R. E.' from bankers, to landowners, to politicians have been served extremely well)

Bank reserves are increasing rapidly causing widespread distortion in financial markets
Lending remains depressed!!!
...if all the newly created bank reserves would end up hit the road via increased debt loads - inflation would be soaring
The Fed can stop that (hopefully) by selling bonds at some stage in the future
Kind Regards
