Shiller - Governments need to back away from trying to "save" the housing market

 Housing expert Robert Shiller talked on CNBC yesterday about the double dip risks to the economy ahead. The bottom line is that governments are not magicians who can solve over-capacity problems with a flick of their fiscal wand; they can elongate the problems, but they cannot "fix" them. I think 2010 will be the year when the world wakes up to this realization.
