    From marketwatch.com

    The Federal Reserve's monetary policy is currently not loose enough, said Narayana Kocherlakota, the president of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank, on Tuesday.

The Feds problem is one of credability.
No one conducting a business believes that the Fed knows what it is doing.
The Fed admits it really does not know what it is doing, but the theories sure sound good.
Business people have lived thru one too many Fed bubbles so they remain sceptical of the Rah Rah boys of the FOMC.
Business people are also well aware that the price discovery mechanism of the market is completely distorted by Central Bank intervention. So how does a Business make sound judgment about investing in growth?
End result is instead of robust recovery we have large lingering doubt hanging over the economy.

We are not at a dead end. Bernanke needs to start buying S&P at 80 billion per month. This would be a great stimulus.
