AND when the stimulus runs out????? back to reality. Christ this is going to be one hell of a long road..It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.0 -

By the time the stimulus runs out, underlying economic conditions will have improved, and growth will have returned.
All the stimulus is doing is holding an artifically high level on eonomic activity and asset prices, until the underlying growth catches up to support them naturally.

Theres a lot wrong with that sentence above, to me.
When stimulus reaches the economy, stock markets may bounce. But it's all artificial (I do realise that stock markets do not care!!).
Just summed up in one sentence how artificial everything is.0 -
Think of the economy as a child.
The child falls over and grazes a knee and starts crying.
You give him/her an ice cream.

Or how natural all these interventions really are. Depends on perspective I suppose.
I note you frequently condemn QE as artificial, whilst not noting that the freezing up of bank lending, which caused QE to be needed, is also artificial.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

You are getting confused between condeming, and stating fact.
I don't condemn it as artificial. It IS artificial.
Freezing up of bank lending was not artificial. That was business economics.0 -

There you go, fixed that for you.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
