Without the use of House as ATM, last decade's economy would have been flat to down. I would have preferred that personally, but many want to go back to the way things happened from 2001 through 2008. Perhaps to get another stab at it, or perhaps because they still don't get it.
But cheer up, it will happen again, it always does. I made some decent money selling into two bubbles, I'd like another chance as well
