Proposed Movie Sequel: "Son of FrankenBubble". A Suspense Thriller Based on The Obama Housing Bubble Story

Background

The original "FrankenBubble" was a housing monster brought to life during the 1990s by a mad scientist.  This freakish behemoth was meticulously constructed out of twisted bank regulation, nefarious legislation and trillions of dollars of taxpayer financed housing subsidies. 

The purpose was to defy natural order and create 8 million homeowners from the depths by the new millennium.  The insane scientist and his henchmen believed that by creating FrankenBubble, prosperity would wash over the countryside and the villagers would be happy. 

But the FrankenBubble monster would not be contained.  It grew out of control wreaking havoc across the countryside and terrorizing the villagers.

The FrankenBubble was finally killed by the strain of its morbid obesity and insatiable appetite for leverage.  The damage wrought by the monster and its creators began to heal...



The original screenplay for "FrankenBubble" was titled "The National Homeownership Strategy".  A analysis of this masterpiece may be reviewed here.

Sequel Plot

Appalled by the pain of the villagers as they rebuilt in the wake FrankenBubble's devastation, Baron von Obama, "brother from another mother" of the original mad scientist, decides he can recreate the housing monster and in doing so save the land.  (admittedly this plot line is a little thin... we have writers working on something more believable)

With the assistance of demented economist Ygor (played by Ben Bernanke), Baron von Obama finds the FrankenBubble Monster's comatose body, and revives it to recreate the appearance of prosperity which existed during those speculative times of yesteryear.

Mad scientist Obama cobbles together Son of FrankenBubble with a mishmash of Government programs and through the aid of his trusty assistant.

The misshapen tools used to create this Obamanation include:

  • Buyer-assistance programs
  • Loan modifications programs
  • New homebuyer subsidies
  • Foreclosure abatement programs
  • Principal reduction programs
  • Subsidized mortgage rates
  • Easy-term financing
  • Government-backed loans which now account for 96.5% of the mortgage market

The creativity of Baron von Obama's evil genius is only matched by his depraved insanity.

"Baron von Obama shouts YES WE CAN to a clearly disoriented Ygor"  (Bernanke was born to play this role)

And for the blink of his eye his diabolical plan works.  Housing prices rise, deficit-financed GPD increases and the masses rejoice.

But alas, Son of FrankenBubble cannot be sustained (only 5 months).  The less dim villagers have learned the dangers of feeding this demented monstrosity.  And the damage caused by the original beast has left little food/capital to spare. 

The reanimated FrankenBubble crashes into the abyss dragging Baron von Obama's Hope for Change with it.  The precious treasure expended to temporarily breathe life into the hideous creature... wasted!








But as the frame goes dark a whisper on the wind (barely audible) carries two words.  Principal... reduction...  And then a maniacal cackle erupts from the darkness.  (Barney Frank has requested to be cast as the disembodied voice... at least we think that's what he said) (The guys in DC think we can milk this concept for a half dozen more sequels)

    Whitney,

    Its quite obvious according to the data presented in your SoFB Appreciation/Depreciation chart, that California has effectively 'decoupled'.

    We've done it before, and we'll do it again!
