The Fed will do WHATEVER it takes to prevent house price deflation. They've already shown this during the Financial Crisis. Too much of the economy and financial system is based on house prices, there's no way that they can ever afford to see house prices decline in our lifetime.

The last thing politicians want is people watching their 401k values go down, and they certainly want them to go up. As far as I’m concerned, VTI is a better inflation protected security than TIPS for any 3+ year investment horizon.
