Answer to Question 2

Low interest rates from 2002 to 2004 caused excessive borrowing. Deregulation in the mortgage industry and lower standards by Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac led to the significant amount of sub-prime mortgages to borrowers who could not afford to make payments when interest rates increased in 2006 . With limited down payments and decreasing home values, some owners walked away from their homes leading to more foreclosures and a further decline in the housing market. These mortgages were then bundled and sold to investors; this leveraging concentrated the risk which was not rated correctly by agencies like Moody's and S&P.
