It's the same thing. Abscent federal manipulations, the housing bubble would not have occured.
you aware of the trade deficit which keeps on growing. china is sitting on 2 trillion and japan and a trillion. some of this trade surplus comes back to the usa to buy things like T-bills. awhile ago i read a report that dealt with the reluctancy of some members of opec and south korea to continue buying interesting bearing american paper. the elite were almost in a state of panic over this.
And it matters not one little whit. The federal government does not exist to manipulate us or people in other nations.
That's a fact that too damned many people seem to forget.
