What exacerbated the sub-prime mortgage crisis once it started? The paper questions whether we are at a low point, and whether things will start to look better from now on, or whether there are additional shocks to our economic system that will continue to reverberate from the sub-prime mortgage crisis of recent years. Three graphs are included with the paper.
