40 to 1 leverage is actually less than what Clintonite and Obama advisor Franklin Raines, the head of Fannie Mae, told Congress wa acceptable in 2004:

"When Mr RAINES himself was challenged by the Republican Christopher Shays, to the effect that his ratio of capital to assets (that is, mortgages) of 3 per cent was dangerously low, the Fannie Mae boss retorted that “our assets are so riskless, we could have a capital ratio of under 2 per cent”.
