The thing many people seem to forget is that the market is much much larger then the government. [/quote]
In a word, “werd”.
The government is indeed subject to market forces, just like everyone else. Like, for example, if you borrow more money than you can ever pay back, then you get yourself into trouble. Our treasury openly admits it has a net worth of about $70 trillion in the red. Um. That’s bad. They think they are all powerful, but they can not make their creditors go away when the day of reckoning comes. Any attempt the government makes at manipulating home prices will come at the price of digging their own grave deeper.
