Subprime Mess Winners and Losers for Rate Lock Solution

The number one solution for intervention is the rate lock solution for this subprime mess. The idea is that all the people with adjustable mortgages will have their initial lower interest rate locked in for the entire length of the loan. I hate that a responsible person who took on a loan they could afford and took the extra interest up front to protect themselves down the line gets screwed. That is the person that deserve help. The person that has proved they can take care of money. Why give it to people that took a risk that didn't work in their favor? They didn't plan ahead for when the worst might happen. Why do these people deserve the help? We have a market for a reason. Let it learn its lesson and figure itself out. (Proposed rate freeze to reduce foreclosures)
