Pro's/Con's of Clinton's Economic Proposals?
Watching the debate the other night, I was a little confused about Clinton's plan to put a 90-day moratorium on foreclosures and a 5-year freeze on interest rates. I've seen a few comments here and on Daily Kos saying these proposals are not a good idea, but I wasn't sure why. Can someone help me understand the issue better, and explain what the pro's/con's of these proposals are?

I don't need anyone to make a case for/against either of the candidates...I just want to understand the issue. Is that too much to hope for in this forum?

1. Me, too - how much help can 90 days be?

2. I don't think she can freeze interest rates...at least without causing problems

What happens to the bond markets (and, by extension, stock and commodities markets) if interest rates are frozen for 5 years?
