QE is a pretty sneak way to keep a stagnated economy going. And, lets be clear, the stagnation is happening because trillions of dollars are hoarded in financial schemes whose only goal is to produce interest, not on producing anything. The biggest example we have is the way big corporations are furiously repurchasing their own stock. This is a huge fortune spent every few days for no productive reason, with the only goal of making big company returns to look more attractive than they are. All the money pumped in this economy is going for share repurchasing programs, stock market investments made by funds in these same companies, real state speculation, and a small portion into venture capital for companies that for their own nature have uncertain returns.
