You're correct. I confused GNMA (Ginnie Mae) obligations which are government guaranteed, with FHLMC (Freddie Mac) obligations which are not. I must be tired.

Of course Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) obligations are also not guaranteed.

I'm certain every money-printing trick will be used to prevent a melt-down of these agencies, which is why I keep most of my savings in other currencies.

The US Dollar is toast.

My question was if FNM/FRE guarantee their MBS #reply-20254702. It wasn't whether they are guaranteed by the US.
Another question: does the bank that floated it's own MBS guarantees timely payment of principal and interest on it?
