What exactly is the home mortgage crisis all about?

Vic D. Dik asked:


Why is there a lot of home foreclosure in the U.S. today?Did the interest rates on existing home loans suddenly increase?
Are interest on loans allowed to fluctuate wildly? By how much? But are not the key interest rates which are the basis of interests on home loans at their record lowest, thereby making home purchases very accessible? And what is the current loan interest rate now in the U.S? In the Philippines, you pay 7-8percent per annum. How does that compare to the US?
