I think it will be inflation, based on the need to print more money to feed the beast. The Chinese will not like that, but they would not like us not buying their goods less. Between the bogus stimulus, crap and trade that will drive up the cost of many things and higher taxes, inflation has to be the bi product. Inflation could drive the prices of houses higher, but my guess is there will just be a lot more renters and stagnant housing without some kind of massive trade in your old house and we will tear it down and replace it with a green house while you buy a new one. Did you hear that the clunker money is taxable? These guys don’t miss a thing.
