Christopher asked:


The recession was caused by people being unable to pay back their home mortgages because the mortgage rates were too high?

Banks were not getting their money back from home owners, causing a credit crunch, thus they were unable to lend money to big businesses.

Big businesses then had to cut back on expenses and began to lay people off the the thousands.

So what caused the mortgage rates to go up so high that started this financial mess in the first place?

The fed cut rates today 1/22/2008 by 75 points, but I checked rates offered on mortgages today and found that they have only dropped slightly. How long does it take before mortgage rates change with the fed prime rate cut?
