1. When they get around to voting for this, they will be at their lowest.
They are not going to get much lower than 4.75% I think it is a good move.

3. I would say if it gets much lower we won't be in a recession we'll
have a crash, if they're frozen while that low it can only help the housing industry.

4. Apples vs Oranges...
Existing ARM mortgages, especially subprime, are increasing to rates like 9%. Its those she wants to freeze. Personally, I think it just delays pain.
