much cheaper and easier to get. But credit could not expand 
forever, and eventually conditions tightened. When they did, 
there was nothing to hold prices up.  
So when the market crested, the easy money that for years 
had poured into the economy stopped fl owing. Even if there 
had been no other economic reversals that followed the 
housing bust (which there were), the economy would have 
had to shrink without all the free cash. A recession was not 
only inevitable but absolutely necessary to rebalance the 
economy.
But when the economy started to contract, lawmakers and 
economists treated the development not as the inevitable 
consequence of years of easy money and overspending, but as 
the problem itself. In other words, they mistook the cure for 
the disease. 
The policy goals of both the Bush and Obama administrations 
have been to encourage consumers to spend as they had 
before the housing crash. But where will the money come 
from? If unemployment rose, and incomes and home prices 
fell, where would consumers get the money?  
Economists have declared that if the people can’t spend, 
the government needs to step up and do it for them. But 
the government doesn’t have any money. All it has is what it 
collects in taxes and what it borrows or prints. 
For now, this process is just creating massive public debt ($1.6 
trillion per year and counting). And although the numbers 
look bad, we are still able to sell most of this debt on the open 
market, primarily to foreigners.
