I believe in the near-long term this will lead to lower interest rates for the buyer improving new construction and home ownership. Every down side has an up side. There are other benefits as well. There will possible be cheap properties for purchase by real-estate investors.

I believe there's a typo in the article; the Federal Reserve Board is referred to as the "Federal Research Board".

Gallup MBA/MA Program

The master's program designed by Gallup consulting experts and faculty from the top-ranked University of Nebraska-Lincoln is so different, alumni often call it the "Anti-MBA."

This program combines Gallup's best science in behavioral economics, management, leadership, HumanSigma, and strengths with the "lean thinking" pioneered by Toyota, and couples it with traditional business competencies, such as accounting, finance, and classic economics.

To learn more about the program, visit the Gallup/UNL MBA/MA in Executive Leadership Web site, or contact Mike Schmidt at 402.938.6285.
