Does this mean the time bomb that is the rate adjustment will just keep ticking? Rates are already at historical lows. Where will they be in 5 years?
tick. tick. tick.
yea, we're living in a room filled with tick tick ticks....
I see it more like the big subprime ship is sinking and this plan is a life boat for some. Can't save them all and we HOPE that those that get in the boat will survive long enough for the sun to shine again.
Ah oh...that song just flew into my head...
The sun will come up tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar on tomorrow, come what may....ok I'll stop.
heh heh but trust me it's true.
