So you'd prefer to run right down the road of ill-advised loans to people who really don't qualify. How many housing bubbles do you want to see burst in your lifetime.

Mortgage rates have nothing to do with banks approving loans beyond the people's means.

MSgt Michael Bischoff - Mortgage rates determine what amount a person can finance. Low interest rates increase demand which increases price, which drives overbuilding. In essence it increase the volatility of the market. Then the bubble bursts and people find that the sudden crash wipes out the equity they had. Then they suffer an unforeseen economic downfall and they are upside down on a house they can no longer afford and they can't afford to sell it either.
That is why you do not give the government a sledge hammer to fix a teacup.
