Sane loans and prices that aren't artificially inflated to astronomically high prices by easy/free money. A normal growth in real estate and calm reactions on behalf of all parties -- lenders, buyers, and sellers. No more "free money" mania if enough investors learn their lesson.
If the government bails loans out, we'll see this problem extended and the inevitable could possibly be more damaging. We have years of ARM resets remaining before this is all over and done with, so any bailout that happens now is a drop in the bucket of a much larger problem, anyways. Besides, banks aren't going to take the fall and lawmakers will see to that.
Consequences include
lots of burned out vehicles. Strange.
