The FED regularly raised rates for years, until mortgage holders could no longer pay the rates. Now that millions have lost their homes, the FED is regularly lowering rates to save the bankers.
Tens of billions in welfare to the banks while millions of people are thrown into the street. That is how capitalism works.
There are many causes for the crisis but the main cause is that subprime mortgages were allowed to become stocks wrapped with securities.
On a macro level, the problem is that homeowners WERE NOT SMART ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY WERE BORROWING - ADDED TO THE FACT THAT Loan Officers were GREEDY and willing to loan them as much as possible so they could increase their broker fees and thus their end commission.
Sub Prime debt?Why dont they call it by its real name “Cunt Loans”.Also,anyone who has seen the pig faced scum that work on the dealing floors of all stock exchanges will know that this downturn isnt just about Cunt Loans -its also about putting your economies in the hands of greedy self opinionated fuck wits that couldnt care less about their own mothers,let alone anyone else.Theres also the little matter of $billions being wasted on blowing up Iraq and Afghanistan-but thats a whole new story!
Most of the comments here show an almost dislocated view of reality: the people who were issued these mortgages at punitive and usurious rates are being blamed for what was another parasitic scheme by the bloated financial services sector.

It is so sad that so many people have NO idea what is happening…and has happened to bring us to where we are now.
