Yes indeed. Since most on SI aren't old enough to see that or too political... they tend to concentrate on just the last 7 years. Yes indeed! And a bubble feels great while you're in it. But all bubbles burst. And when they do... This one got transferred from the stock market to the RE market via the Fed, the repeal of Glass-Steagall, and the loan finance companies. So it continued in a different form for another 6 years. But it's over now and the hangover from the party is coming. God pity the next President, regardless of who wins. One term and out in disgrace, I think.

Stagflation will really get cranking up. It is policies of recent years that are in large part to blame. Balance the budget, protect the dollar and things would be a bit different. Chindia growth assures the disinflationary period of the 1980's and 1990's doesn't come back in our lifetimes. Amazing almost everybody expects housing to not come back for a very long time and interest rates to remain low. Debase, reflate and lock in low fixed rate mortgages the next few years before it is too late..
