I guess you weren&#x27;t around for the financial crisis of 2008&#x2F;2009. The entire monetary system was under potential collapse and there would have been a severe price to pay.<p>You can&#x27;t have houses lose 200k in value without severe repercussions to the economy around the world. House mortgages are connected to mortgage securities which are connected to pension funds, etc.<p>If we enter a massive deflationary period as you seem to think is good, then everyone will be holding cash and no one will be spending it because everything is going down in value. You can&#x27;t get 20% dividend yields in a deflationary world.<p>Be careful what you wish for.
