by the same token: do NOT underestimate the ability of the Fed and the Agencies to perpetuate the US housing bubble. it seems the true bubbles all go on longer than anybody expects, especially when the people with the money hose have no interest in turning off the spigot.

They can NOT control that one.
There is no housing PPT and there is no way to force people to buy houses either.

The only remote chance is by lowering interest rates.
Once the decline starts, there will be too many jobs lost and no way to put it all back together. If incomes do not rise with housing prices, there is NO chance any prop job can stop the decline once sentiment changes. Not here, not in Japan.

Thus I disagree.
