No,no. that's not what Newt said. He said....
that there are times "when you need government to help spur private enterprise and economic development."
I suspect you have problems with Newt, but your point, is moot and ridiculous.
I guess I wouldnt mind hearing a few examples of when thats true, but in the context of what Newtie said I can't imagine how Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae would apply . In fact, it seems plain ridiculous to suggest as much. Freddie Mac has also added huge inefficiencies to the market even when it wasn't in default as it is now.
