Moral hazard in the housing market ?
The Fed is very concerned about housing market retrenchment, this when prices have barely started to decline.

Too bad they were not concerned, when prices were leaping by 50% a year and speculators were buying multiple houses each with interest only neg am loans in frenzied bidding wars.

I think the groundwork is being laid for a Bernanke put for housing, because housing is vital, nothing is more important.
