Quite frankly I don't give a flying %$#%^ about Freddie or Fannie. They started out as corrupt private co's and totally tossed their salad. I would resist in every way bailing these turds out again. I don't care what wiz bang fed official is overseeing them these days.

>>Which makes it damn hard to sell a house without GIVING the damn thing away. Especially in this Great Recession.<< it is easy to sell, it is more difficult to get a good price. this is why bubbles aren't a good thing to inflate. yes, much of the damage occurred under bush's watch. however, the foundation was laid under clinton's administration when he gutted glass-steagall and passed a law that made the derivatives not only legal, but illegal for the states to regulate. the bankers drove the whole thing through their direct control of the fed and clinton, bush and obama accepted cash to let them run rough shod on the american public. then we have the issue of debt (banker welfare at the expense of society) as the bedrock of our monetary policy.
