You can read the above testimony by Kevin Stein, Associate Director California Reinvestment Coalition, as heard on the floor of the House of Representatives sub committee on housing and community opportunity, by clicking here.
The graph above shows a shocking inability to refi a borrowers subprime loan. If a mortgage loan is so bad that it cannot be refi'd, and is therefore much more likely to be foreclosed upon, someone has done something of questionable perpitude.
