There is no "sub-prime mortgage crisis". I would guess that you guys don't even know what it is supposed to mean. The so-called "subprime mortgage crisis" Is purely an artifact of political correctness. It is a result of banks and other lending institutions being placed under severe pressure to lend money to people who not only are unlikely to be able to keep up with the payments, but who also have no incentive to live up to their obligations, because they expect the state to take care of them. As usual, the banks simply caved, thus we have people defaulting on mortgages which in a sane world would never have been offered in the first place. I see no reason why I should have to pay for this -- maybe Al Gore and the other supergeniuses out there could spare the money to cover it, since they caused the problem from the get-go.
