Welcome to MORTGAGE MELTDOWN: THE MUSICAL!

Just say okay, 'cause it's rated TRIPLE-A.

Five households in one bank's vicinity—

We'll call them Households A, B, C, D, E—

Are pushed into traps set six years before

Scene One opens: March fourth, two thousand four.

Watch banks base loans on neighborhood and race,

Buy ratings for pools of loans (“Triple-A's”),

Forge signatures, drop their lending standards,

File fake documents in public records.

Which homeowners are not evicted yet?

Will Bankers find out how rich they can get?

Why?

Homeowners were traumatized by the last foreclosure crisis... and now we face another mortgage meltdown! You have heard some parts of the story, something about government deregulation of the banks, high-stakes investments, derivatives based on securitized loans, the 2008 financial collapse, and the need for a massive bailout of banks. But most people cannot explain how those problems connect to widespread foreclosures and evictions. We don't want THAT history to repeat itself! Wouldn't it be nice to have a clear understanding of what the [bleep!] happened, presented in a good old-fashioned musical that leaves you humming catchy tunes?
