Census Bureau. On the surface the number was good, if a slight miss to expectations of 380K, printing at 377K, up from 361K in October, and "the highest in years." As we said on the surface. Because like the Initial Claims data earlier, where we subsequently learned that the DOL had to estimate the claims data of 19 states (!) as their labor offices were closed for the holiday, it is digging into the data that reveals the reality once more.

Well, the FED will just unleash some new sort of QE and try and increase the prices even more.

Maybe the banks will bring in 100yr mortgages-that way the monthly payment will be much less?

It already exist in Japan. I wouldn't doubt they would try and bring it over here. Imagine keeping entire families indentured for generations, I bet the big banks salivate over the thought.
