>>They apparently didn't even think about strangulating the money supply knowing the dangers of a restrictive policy.<< Bernanke faces a US housing market which is breaking down in increased mortgage defaults and foreclosures. The very last thing he wants to do is to have to raise official US interest rates to defend the US Dollar. He would risk the US housing market breaking down entirely, with what that means for the entire US financial system.
