<<<A downturn in housing is healthy>>> Monetizing gains in RE has been supporting the US consumer for many years. The money was borrowed and spent. Look at these charts. idorfman.com idorfman.com idorfman.com What's going to happen to the US economy as equity withdrawal dries out? IMO weakness will cause more weakness. Negative feedback loop as it was called by CR. Message 22470220 IMO the wash out will take ten years or more. Dollar bubble you cited is another bubble which will be bursting along with other bubbles. I feel that after all the mess has been cleaned up it will be different America.
