1) Trying to re inflate the mortgage bubble because they think it will turn the economy around.
-or-
2) They are going to force the rest of the banks to capitulate to direct government control, thereby seizing the vehicles of capital from the free market system.

-or-
All of the above.
P.S. I'm heading home now.
