15% or less isn't true. Problematic mortgages where not 15% of the problem, but the majority, esp. if you include the indirect effects.

Also even if it was that small (and it isn't) 15% is far to big to be a mouse. 15% is an important reason.

larger, or at least as large each, as sub-prime

Again the issue I am talking about IS NOT sub-prime. I'm talking about problematic mortgages not sub prime. After one time, I might think maybe I miscommunicated it, after two, I might think, OK, your just being a little sloppy in your reading of the post you respond to, but after its repeated again, and you continue to act as if I was making a point specifically and only about sub-prime, its hard to conclude that your not arguing in bad faith, no matter how much I normally try to give the benefit of the doubt in such situations.
