Why did you increase the interest rate to 9% for your 40 year calculation?

Edit: oh, in the article it says they expect rates to be in the 9% range.

I agree with the other commenter. With the higher rate and no benefit of the longer amortization period, this is insane. Doesn't do anything to help people trying to afford a mortgage.
