The question isn't about pointing fingers, but how the excess liquidity mentioned can be directed to finance the economies... And who has that excess liquidity?

" The German government might want to listen to Dr. Paul Krugman first, before pointing any fingers about economic policy."

I do hope you're jesting, as Klugman is one of the cretins(no offense to actual people from the beautiful isle of Crete) who proposed to the Obama administration the ludicrous notion of minting a Trillion dollar platinum coin to pay down the US debt.

The Germans are absolutely correct to seriously question the foolish currency printing.

One problem is the velocity of money. Increased liquidity along with stimulus can increase confidence which can lead to a higher money multiplier. The tricky (impossible?) part is to reign in liquidity and stimulus once the party gets started.
