the rates don't need to go high ,  just cause jobs to vanish , folks without jobs struggle to pay rents OR mortgages  ( and many landlords have mortgages as well  , so no rent less income to service those mortgages )  so housing prices moderate  meaning the bank is holding a security that MIGHT even go down


 this MIGHT turn very nasty ( and complex ) and remember those mortgage-backed securities  , they are lurking somewhere as well


 AND by the time the worker gets the rise 5% won't be enough ( it is just the way inflation works , sorry )
