Wow!

The Feds are between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, they could bail out the lenders at taxpayers expense OTOH, they could reduce rates to alleviate the mortgage crisis. However, that may allow inflation to get out of control.

What to do?

What they are supposed to do when people make stupid financial decisions. NOTHING.

Drop the rates and open the flood gates to our south, to suppress wages. It's Machiavellian, and it's also just delaying the inevitable, but you just watch.

What to do? Let the market weed the garden. That's what. Of course, the Keynesians cannot stand that .... wusses, one and all.
