But why? Because consumers went on a shopping spree with the borrowed money from their refinanced house. The growth over the last couple of years was financed by funny money. So far for the growth numbers.... Yes, economy was growing by 4%. But why? Because consumers went on a shopping spree with the borrowed money from their refinanced house.

A primary reason that no-doc loans were used was because most of the sub-primers can't fill out forms and their ability to read is suspect. <br/><br/>There is no way these folks will figure out a way to a complete a government form.

It just kills me that those spend like there's no tomorrow are getting rewarded while my savings are growing at a snail pace due to low interest. unlike many on this post,I barely earn above median income. i am telling you guys, it is tough for me and my girl to save more than 25% of what we earn because everything costs so damn much, even though our rent is only $1250. I can remember when my father's mortage payment on a 1900 sf house here in the IE is around that... and there's NOTHING I could do about it... sad...
