The Prophet Isaiah on the sub-prime meltdown (Vanity)

Isaiah 65: 21 They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

22 No longer will they build houses and others live in them, or plant and others eat. For as the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people; my chosen ones will long enjoy the works of their hands.

23 They will not toil in vain or bear children doomed to misfortune; for they will be a people blessed by the LORD, they and their descendants with them.

James 5 is apropos:
1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you.
2 Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten.
3 Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days.

wall street bandits pledged our hard-earned savings to loan to unqualified homeowners. it doesnt take aphd in economics to figure out what happens next. the lord promises to his people that we wont have to loan foolishly just to pay homage to political correctness anymore

Since Isaiah's prophecy applied to God's nation I don't how you make the connection to financial problems of today that have many origins.
