This seeems somewhat out of character for CFC, wonder what they are up to. For them to be moving so strongly into the higher risk areas under current conditions is something that I can't figure out. They can sit back on servicing revenue and have no pressure to be so aggressive. Could Angelo be building up asset size for a sale?

Do you have a figure for how tax receipts were affected by all this repatriation of cash from overseas? Some one on my FOOL board was harping about this: Looking at the numbers from the Treasury Department fms.treas.gov you can see that Federal receipts were up in 2005 by almost 15% and the budget deficit down by 23%. Numbers in billions of dollars. Receipts Outlays Deficit 2004 1880 2293 413 2005 2154 2472 318 Not bad for a "shaky" economy -- maybe it was the tax cuts in 2003.
