“This is what President Bush the younger tried to get fixed/stop, but the Dems would have none of it and it IS a large part of what led to the ‘08 “crash”. “
Bull manure. That’s NOT what Dubya was trying to fix. Dubya in fact encouraged subprime lending and praised the head of Fannie Mae for a program that provided free downpayments for those that didn’t have them. He was part of the problem.
Dubya’s administration was only concerned about the capital to asset ratio of Fanny and Freddy, it had nothing to do with this SEC filing.
You either have a very bad memory or an agenda.
President Bush tried several times to reign in Fannie and Freddie and was rebuffed by the Dems on Congress and and scolded by them. You've forgotten the whole Harold Raines mess, have you ?
