Actually they aren’t taking anyone down, they are going to make a killing off this thing. If I had any faith in them, I’d say it was a masterful plan, but I think it’s just luck. The gov’t has bought quite a bit of this market (r/e, insurance, mbs) and those investments dont need to return to bubble levels for this to pay off, they just need to uptick a bit and stabilize somewhere between bubble and bottom, which they are well on their way to doing.
This is a casino game where the dealer always wins and one of the only games where you can bet on the dealer. They prefer it when everyone wins a little cause they tax the winnings.
If they can make a decent electric car over at government motors, they will have enough money to buy everyone health insurance. Maybe they did plan it? Naw.
