I guess we can conclude that without govt intervention, the economy would have already crashed HARD by now.

The next question is whether all these efforts are just delaying the inevitable and perhaps making the eventual crash much worse.

The headline should read, "Housing billing threatened by common sense" since it has none. Get It Over With is right, the more the government tries to intervene, the worse it will get.

There was an old woman who swallowed a fly (had a subprime implosions). There was an old woman who swallowed a spider (government bailout), she swallowed the spider to get the fly, perhaps she'll die. you know how the song ends, "she's dead, of course!"
