4/9/10 A Show Tune About A Hedge Fund: 'Bet Against The American Dream'


Planet Money, ProPublica and This American Life collaborated on a project that's airing this weekend on This American Life. It's a story about a hedge fund called Magnetar that made millions of dollars when the housing market collapsed.

The show includes a lot of in-depth investigative reporting. It also includes this song, which was written by Robert Lopez, one of the guys behind Avenue Q.
