The time to stopped this was 24 to 18 months ago by tightening lending standards.

The time to have stopped this was in 1982 when Greenspan was made Fed Chairman and abandoned all of his previous pronouncements on sound money. There has been no risk premium in the financial markets since that day, but were are finally seeing a sign that risk premiums might be coming back.
