The second major factor indicating a near-term recession is the sky-high price of crude oil and refined product. . . The third factor in the current recession scenario – and the real wild card – is the continuing decline in the value of the dollar in international money markets caused by our Iraq blunder and the Federal Reserve–generated oversupply of dollars.

Subprime means higher risk market segment. so the lending rates for this market is higher thus giving financial institutions higher yield. Some entrepreneural individuals even went into a smaller scale mortgage lender and started borrowing huge amounts of money and investing it in this. Other countries dipped in to this as well. So the effect of this crisis is not limited to just USA but also other countries that was shopping for better bargains before. so if you look at how big this has become and how many people are going to lose their homes this problem has crept in the nations financial system. In turn the gov't had to remedied this, one they cut interest rates, printed more money, now upcoming is an economic stimulus package. Thats how it all started.
