You are arguing that encouraging growth in housing is somehow a bad thing.

Yes but arguing that government intervention to push growth in one particular area is a bad thing doesn't imply that government intervention to discourage growth in that area is a good thing.

You are also arguing that somehow Fannie is all to blame for this mess

I argued nothing of the sort. What I did was argue that Fannie was part of the problem, not all of the problem.

Oh yes, you also fail to remember that there are shareholders in Fannie and Freddie.

I never said, implied, or believed any such thing.
