Higher interest rates could be part of that correction. Regardless, a correction will be painful for us all. I forsee inflation appearing in the next year, begining with higher oil prices, gold, etc. Due to the housing bubble we were in, people refinanced their houses and spend their equity, the market needs to correct itself.

You hope that this will all work out and they can make money fast to resolve any long term issue.

I'm afraid that there might be several negative consequences due to the "collapsing" bond market: 1) US currency continues to lose value 2) as mortgage goes up, demand for housing will go down. There will be further pressure on housing price. This will hurt medium-to-high-end housing hard. 3) depending on what US government will do -- if they choose to print even more money, there will be a severe inflation. Or, the opposite could happen (i.e. de-flation). Not a pretty situation. Good article.

Definately written from a renter's perspective. Our Federal govt. will continue to lobby China to buy U.S. debt. The U.S. will continue to be hush on China's human rights violations in order to not offend China and risk them cashing out their U.S. debt holdings and/or curtailing their U.S. debt purchases. The increase in Treasury rates is also a good predictor of inflation rates going forward. Our Nation's general entitlement philosophy is due for a day of reckoning some time in the future. Our government's ability to spend more than it makes in tax revenues cannot continue for long without drastic cuts in out years. Good article. Definately written from a renter’s perspective.
