This is rational only under one set of conditions -- expectations of high levels of inflation in the future. I would not want to be caught with a pile of debt right now -- too much uncertainty. But it is possible that those who are playing this crazy game are right if in fact inflation is going to accelerate and persist.

"Our policy of using our homes as our banks is bad public policy, and we need to think of the long-term implications of the debt we have. It's a homeownership economy where people don't really own their homes."

What a great quote... Debt slavery where the 'ownership society' owns you?
