They can't fix the economy while curtailing trade, inflating the money supply, and driving interest rates down. Savings are the foundation of real progress, but they want people to spend so the short-term data looks better for their metrics. Instead, new money floods the market, and Cantillon effects enrich the politically-connected while everyone else bears the real costs. It's obscene that not only does the government expect you to pay them in perpetuity for the privilege of having a home, but they can change the rates depending on whatever the bubble economy says you could sell it for as if you exist to flip assets.
