“Responsible subprime mortgage lending has done more to lift the poor out of poverty than anything else over the past 50 years. The problem has been irresponsible, predatory and greed-based subprime lending, as well as massive levels of financial illiteracy amongst many borrowers that fuels it, and not sub-prime lending itself.”
