I've mentioned it here before, but we bought our first house with a mortgage in the 13% range. Back then a nice home where I lived could be had for around 80k, and in retrospect it was a good time to buy as rates crashed over the next few years, we refinanced, and housing prices went up strongly. Also, as to your question on Paulson's immunity, I found a bunch of articles stating that he requested it, but I really don't know what actually ended up in the bill. Regards, John
