Don't even respond you fuking right wing assholes because I would do the same to you.
--since the question of responsibity to fiasco seems to be cleared up (unless there are other facts someone would like to bring to table)
--it appears we have changed horses to who were the victims of fallout.
Since every article I read indicates it subprime loans was culprit maybe a definition of subprime loan is in order 1st. Take your pick--

Now would appear to me they were people that didn't qualify for loan under normal criteria--doesn't mean they were necessarily all indigent as included those who could qualify for one mortgage but thought they could leverage themselves to the hilt by taking out all their equity in home and trying parlay it into greater wealth.
I remember we had discussion thread couple years ago in general forum and a poster (I don't remeber who) made the statement one would be a fool to not borrow all equity out of house and invest it--wonder where he is today?
Today we have 6.99% of homes delinquent - 2.97% are in foreclosure--total bout 10%
That means 90% currently are in good standing.
So basically we have 10% singing the blues and 90% that have been able to reduce their interest rates about 30% from 90's rates.

Bad news is banks took hits on both accounts--defaults on bad loans and loss of interest on the good ones.
Rather than hang noose around either political party the ones I like to hang are the ones that made profit everytime unwarrented loan was closed. I believe we can all agree on that
-- hopefully incoming admin will reinstate old law or write new one that will prevent this from happening again.
--and not penalize the 30% of americans that have no mortgage or those paying their mortgage on time with increased property taxes--to compensate-"the others".
