"The government on Friday sued 17 financial firms, including the largest U.S. banks, for selling Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac billions of dollars worth of mortgage-backed securities that turned toxic when the housing market collapsed." I suspect that the government is going to regret this lawsuit. There is going to be a paper trail of who applied pressure to the banks to make the loans. I believe that paper trail is going to head right back to Washington DC.

Joe, this is a roundabout way of going after the S&P rating company. The govt wants revenge, and they want it BIG TIME. I think the Liberal press will show how these poor banks, that can barely afford to pay their employees, were MISLED by the ratings giant, and S&P is the evil culprit, and should pay pay pay.
