The only way to stop the continuing avalanche of foreclosures is to have a Congressionally-mandated foreclosure moratorium and change the terms of the existing subprime ARMs by fiat. If that isn't done, the problem is going to get worse by orders of magnitude in late 2008 and 2009 when four times as many prime credit ARMs start to adjust than there were subprime ARMs, and the prime borrowers won't be able to refinance either, especially since lending guidelines for conventional loans are now incredibly stiffer than they were. A moratorium and mortgage adjustment will instantly stop the process and restore value to mortgage securities so lenders can start lending again. FHA Secure cannot help very many because:

FHAsecure will not succeed because most of the sub-prime borrowers were created during the boom for the fat profit mongers of the lending industry. The lenders were like a drug cartel, who now say well we did not force them to buy the heroin, but boy were they willing to be the suppliers. FHA and the Bush plan is way off.
