If housing has gone up 25%, and isn't coming back down, does that not imply a stealth devaluation of the dollar?

It's not stealth. However the devaluation of the dollar (by the Fed keeping rates too low) came first. The housing bubble and higher commodity prices are the result of that. Perhaps Bernanke was showing that he can shovel manure just as well as Greenspan. He got the job didn't he?
