18 years after their asset bubble burst, Japan is still suffering because of their unwillingness to deal with their portfolio of bad loans. The advantage, of course, is that Treasury bond rates are so low that we may be mortgaging our future, but we are doing it cheaply.

Hey, you gotta prop up those home prices until inflation catches up with them.
