Discussion about
The U.S. government has every incentive to keep rates down, since the government is a huge borrower. But if the employment increases, wages improve, business is stronger, and people's expectations for housing improve along with their improved outlook, will the Fed increase rates? Then what happens? Economy, income, and spending up Rates up Real estate ___?
