It is  plain to see that  inflation is the  solution to the   sub prime  problem...... only  inflation  will solve the  problem..... drop  rates,  keep  families in their  homes and the  sub  prime  will disapear..... inflation   will  increase  equity and give  people the  incentive to  stay  put..... once the  equity  is  gone  from any  investment it  is  no  longer an investment , but a  liability..... The  US   has  been  fighting the inflation  boogieman only to  find  out  he   is an  ally.
