So lets lower interest rates so people buy houses which will once again artifically inflate home prices so that the people who are under water in the homes will be ok. Sounds like a plan to me.

We cannot continue to blow air into a bubble, the bubble has burst.

It's spring, alot of basements flood then. Lots of stuff underwater.
I don't get it either.
