The number one problem that was the ultimate cause of this all was that the government dictated who could get loans because the rights of minorities were being infringed on as they were being refused loans.
So loans had to be made to those that could not afford them in the first place.
This was the prime mover.
It was followed by a run up of home values far in acess of what they were worth.
Homes worth 30,000, at best, suddenly became 45,000 on up.
The values placed on property also went sky high to pay for programs enacted by the Government.
Since this was a governmental problem to begin with, its only fitting that the Government pay for it.
