You can’t stop a market bubble from popping with policy. You can only keep the cycle going until the bubble is bigger then the policy maker… which, since the bubble grows exponentially, is soon no matter how big that policy maker is.

No, but you can try and gently deflate rather than make it pop.

In theory, yeah. I don't know if this has been done in the past 30ish years, though... it seems that, mysteriously, the people in charge of making those decisions are always the same people who have a lot invested in seeing the bubble continue to inflate.
