Time will tell, but if it doesn't work you can bet Fed will do something else to prop up prices.
That I wouldn't doubt.
Yeh... The free market against big gov. is quite interesting if you see it through history.
Prior to World War 2, the war street had always been the beliefe of free market, untill the great depretion started in 1929. Later Franklin Delano Roosevelt came into power and shifted the country into 'big gov'.
When it came into the 80s, Reagan brought the country back to 'free market' again. And the US had a 20-years prosperity.
Now we came into 2010s, serious problem in the economy was revealed by the FC. And all the countries turned back into 'big gov' stage.
History just repeats itself. There is nothing new under the sunshine.
