The United States experienced the emergence of an
economic crisis in the last quarter of 2008 that was the worst
since the Great Depression. It quickly became evident that
the cause of this financial meltdown was a perfect storm of
multiple factors including irresponsibility, greed and lax
oversight. Wall Street executives built an empire on a
foundation of risky subprime home loans that crumbled
when home foreclosures skyrocketed.
Class warfare and anger at irresponsible actions by Wall
Street investment bankers roiled the public as billions of
taxpayers’ dollars were committed to bail out the same
people that brought down the economy.
Some hardworking citizens found themselves living in
foreclosure riddled neighborhoods and tent cities that the
author has labeled – TARP Towns - after the Troubled
Assets Relief Program approved by Congress in October of
2008.
