IMO, it's not just physical money supply, but the velocity of financial transactions, that must be incorporated into determining if there is too much, or not enough, liquidity:

Bottom line though.. the Fed can inject tremendous liquidity into the system, but if it doesn't spur velocity of transactions, GDP will decline.
