China is our friend and benefactor. They have a huge trade deficit which they return to the US in investments in FNM, FRE , US Treasuries , buildings, companies- you name it. We can not let them get screwed. This relationship is wonderful for us. They sell us their goods, we give them dollars, they invest the dollars in US making up for our poor savings rate. As Bernanke, Beis, Greenspan etc have all said in their speeches on the Fed Web site- the current account deficit must equal the capital account surplus.
Bail Fannie and Freddie out is the only alternative for the foreign holders of their debt and the US holders. How many of us hold GSE debt thru our money market accounts? There are three type accounts: Corp debt- GSE debt and Treasuries. I suggest you switch to treasuries tomorrow. God Bless America
