You know, since we the people now own FNM/FRE, let them deal with the administration of the "bailout". Have them buy these mortgages with govt. money. Let them price them according to their expertise and let them dispose of them at "value at maturity". Banks get their liquidity and Taxpayers have a shot at coming out of this whole.

"no, my 2 cents is that he is going to hold on to the house" If the treasury would use the buy and hold strategy you present that would give them only $700B to work with. By buying and selling they have an unlimited amount of cash that can be recycled both indefinitely and infinitely. JMHO.

Better the Fed just lend more easy money at the window for this, not the treasury. They are the damn central bankers.
