"Inflation" isn't the right technical term, and I'm skeptical of the more conspiratorial implications, but the Federal Reserve is pretty open about the fact that it buys a lot of mortgage debt and mortgage rates are low because of it.

Only since 2008 really. We still haven't allowed the market to correct from that mess. Now we're just printing money to keep things alive another day.
