In case you don't know.... US banks lend imaginary money on ratios over 10:1 of cash holdings, more like 1000:1 when you count leverage and re-investment.
So they lend it out on interest, you pay it back. They take your loan, bundle it up with other loans, and sell it to wall street as various investment vehicles.
Now, that the foreclosures are trickling in, they want to be paid back, or foreclose, but they don't actually physically hold the mortgage anymore. It's out in lala land.
Their bluff was called, and the courts are ruling in the peoples favour.

Here is a clip from Capitalism: A love Story, Moore's brilliant last film.
Here Rep M. Kaptur tells the American people "Be squaters in your own homes!" and they dont have your mortgage!
