    I like the term used in the comments - "Homeownerism", which does seem to sum up the last 10 years fiscal policy quite nicely.

      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

          That doesn't make sense, mushrooms are grown in 5hit they don't turn into it.

          Top tip: Think out your mushroom/5hit based jokes more thoroughly before posting.
          Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

            It cracks me up how some people think that asset inflation is somehow good even if you "own" that asset.
