      <![CDATA["As far as I know, the plan is for those who own a primary home (as opposed to those who bought houses on speculation) are in no danger of foreclosure.

      <![CDATA[The subprime crisis is actually quite interesting, mainly in the fact that it is not a crisis, just a panic. If you lopk at page 9, column 3 of the August 20th issue of Barrons, you will find for the past four years, All those sub prime loans have been packaged up as CDO's and sold to China in exchange for their trade surplus, as well as to other non America buyers.
