heather, elaborate on that. 4.5 trillion is a lot of money. a quarter of the size of our annual economic output. that is a lot of money. it didn't really get us anything. if anything, heather it, contributed to the hourglass economy we find ourselves in, where those on top they benefited because if you have capital, you can make that go to work for you in and markets have been on fire. and those on the bottom, increasingly have seen government handouts. those in the middle, heather, they have been squeezed and i don't think the fed program has done one darn thing to help them. >> i agree with you. the other side of that those long the market would say it pushed people into riskier asset classes like stocks because you're not getting anything out of your boned portfolios if you're in retirement. how do you get anything from savings, cds, 2%, 1% on 10-year? you can't. you're forced to buy stocks. it propped up the stock market higher than some argue it should be trish. this is unprecedented time. uncharted territories. globally remember, central
