Hm, wasn't Japan's bubble in part due to easy credit? Are we going to see easy credit in the US given recent memories of inflation?
Quite possible that there will be a Trump effort to drive down rates and abandon inflation control for political reasons.
There already was such an effort but Trump lacks enough federal reserve votes to succeed at present.
