What happens in a state of excessive liquidity? Inflation.
What's the feds target rate for inflation? 3%
How does the fed target that rate (what methods are employed)? Open market operations (QE, Twist, etc.), reserve requirements, and the discount
rate.
ETA: To be fair and accurate, QE1 was meant for liquidity (to bring back to normal levels), beyond that was inflation targeting.
