Now that the government is 100% in charge of Freddie and Fannie, there is nothing keeping them from reinflating the housing bubble by issuing unlimited, easy to get housing loans. The whole pushing on a string theory goes down the drain. The government can bypass the string by focusing on loaning money instead of tinkering with the prime rate. They have already stated that one of the goals of the nationalization is to improve the availability of mortgages. If they are serious, nothing will stop the reinflation short of a dollar collapse. IMHO...watch your back. "In order to improve the availability of mortgages, Treasury will start buying Freddie and Fannie's mortgaged-backed debt in the open market."
