As the entire housing finance market is dependent on Fannie and Freddie, there would be a blood bath. Right now, because financing laws, there will be no new money for home loans.

No win situation here. If we get out, we crash. If we stay in, we crash.

I wish but I doubt that will happen with all the payoff’s the banks made to Obama and Frank and Dodd, etc. who would the banks dump the rest of those toxic mortgages on if not the taxpayer through Fannie/Freddie.

$6.3 Trillion of that crap and that was last February

Get Rid of Fannie and Freddie

We cannot afford to get rid of them. They are worth approximately NEGATIVE 400 BILLION DOLLARS! We'd have to come up with that to close them.
