People respond somewhat rationally to obvious incentives. If you make lending riskier by letting those junior to the lenders get theirs first if the company fails, than you create a disincentive to lend.

Before disincentive to lend at all will come disincentive to lend at favorable terms. There is a huge difference between the rate one can get on an unsecured loan (Credit Card) and a secured loan (Mortgage).

Obama has erased the distinction, and as a result, may have erased source of funding at favorable terms to any borrower.
