Real and more robust growth, politics, or a combination of both? I suspect we're getting some greater growth.

They need to hurry up and do it already, real estate prices are getting ridiculous here in houston. I love houston but the inner city real estate is approaching ridiculous where I'm at, we hike a full point and it tumbles imo.

I think it's politics.

The banks would have kept interest rates artificially low for Clinton.

The idea that a government body can better determine the most efficient borrowing rate than a free market is absurd. Rates have, in my opinion, held too low for years which has helped create this debt bubble we see in many industries.

That's a very popular opinion, unless you're LSURussian or a central banker or DC politician.

I'll believe it when the long-end rises, too.

Our government at work. Keep rates artificially low for years thereby helping some people while simultaneously absolutely putting the screws to retirees and people trying to generate income on savings. Let the free markets work and find the true rates.

The worst part is that it hasn't worked. 50% of the people in the US don't have $500 to their name.

Where are you looking? I feel as if prices are just going to get higher. Interest rates will need to go up 3% to make a notable impact on home prices.
