I'm curious what logic gets you to that conclusion. Just look at all the upward rate adjustments that have had little effect on the longer term bonds. Tells me there is plenty of other money out there for lending. 30 year mortgage rates are hardly any higher than they were at the depths. Sure shorter terms are higher now but those would be the most volatile without the Fed regardless. Not certain how markets would keep those in check. FWIW I have few issues with the Fed and don't feel the housing bubble had anything to do with them. That was stupid/crooked bankers and even more crooked Goldman guys.
