You are really ignorant on the issue.
The problem with sub-prime mortgage default is because a lot of mortgage
lenders stopped really verifying incomes. The government law only asked the
bank to make sub-prime loans to people who don't have enough down payment
and/or credit history, it never asked the bank to ignore the basic lending
standard.
The higher default risk carried by sub-prime loans was never the issue,
