Another interesting approach would be to lower % on tax on savings and interest. Therfore making debt instruments, and savings more tax effient. It is tough to buy a bond when you have to pay the 38.5%. In a stock fund over two years the chances of not making 6% are slim, plus LTCG reduces tax expense. As in the 80's with 2nd home deductions, the reduced capital gains on equities has helped create this buble.

el p, ultimately he will probably have no choice. but i guess he shrinks from deflating the bubble because he a) knows that's dangerous, and thus wants to avoid it as long as possible, and b) the mob will demand his head.
