I don't think the Fed would articulate their monetary policy quite this way, but it seems to me that the theory behind their non-sterilized permanent open market operations (POMOs) is that by juicing asset markets they are promoting greater confidence in the future (via the wealth effect), thereby leading to increased consumption and greater business investment (economic growth).
Twill be interesting to see if any parts of that transmission mechanism misfire.
