The two have used their government coddling to wrap themselves in a web of guarantees, insurance contracts and derivatives that makes Bear Stearns' business look as straightforward as a lemonade stand Exactly! I said this many times though out the years.... One could write a doctors thesis on Fannie and Freddie and still not understand the inner workings.

The Federal Government is only good at destroying things.

Which is perfect in the form of the military...but not so helpful anywhere else.

Obama thinks it will be just the top 1% of the income distribution.

Don't be silly and quit your worrying. Obama will just tax the rich for the bail out.

The worst case scenario is that Uncle Sam, aided by the Federal Reserve, will exercise what I term "the Zimbabwe option." Anyone who has been paying even the slightest attention to Zimbabwe in recent months will readily get what this option implies.

Of course, this will happen only after the powers that be have the opportunity to convert their assets into something not denominated in a fiat currency.

Charles DeGaulle could answer the question in the headline.
Anyone remember his comment when Nixon took the country off the gold standard?

I don’t doubt that for one minute. They know what they are doing. Can you say INFLATION??

The elites look out for each other, from politicians to the well funded and connected rich.
