Nice work.

John Taylor Clears the Way for an Informed View of the Financial Crisis

Ira - Nice work on detailing Taylor's article. He's an important voice of reason when evaluating the current housing and mortgage situation. Hopefully policy-markers and market participants will understand that simply dropping interest rates will not be a panacea for the market.

His paper is one that I've referred to myself here on Seeking Alpha (seekingalpha.com/artic...) and your complete analysis of his paper is appreciated.
