Subprime loans for people with credit scores of 600 or less? Forget it. The standards have been tightened to the point that subprime mortgages, 20% of the mortgage market last year, are a thing of the past. Also gone are a variety of products ranging from "no-money-down loans" with low teaser rates to interest-only mortgages that increase the amount owed to the lender over time.

The banks are doing these people a favor, saving them from themselves.

Some Demos are already talking about the Government coming in to this and helping homeowners. I would be against Government throwing money to individuals, but perhaps there is a way for the FED to assist on a more indirect level?
