I have a bunch of short leaps that expire this year. (initiated 18 months ago) Will they be taxed as short term or long term capital gains?

What if the FED announces a Mega QE of all QEs. 25 trillion dollars. And also charge a -2.5% on Reserves. Would that be enough to shake the money tree and get cash out to the public and get the economy restarted? If you weaken the dollar enough imports go up and it would be cheaper...
