...called it, until about five years ago, when the gold rush began. College kids were waiting tables to buy condos and flip them; speculators got into bidding wars on unbuilt houses; the price would triple just in the time it took to build. Numbers made no sense; people got drunk and reckless. And then they got crushed.

Instead, these controversies are either surrogates for political arguments or another way the press plays the news-cycle game. Did the President win the interview, or did he lose...
