Fannie Mae (FNMA)

I agree with you on that. We know how Joe Light is going to spin it. I bet there is very little if any pushback. "Smaller footprint" doesn't sound like much of a fight to me. Watt said long ago he was working with Treasury.

One thing to remember is that the author of the Bloomberg piece is Joe Light. A staunch critic of the GSEs. Shouldn't come as a surprise if there's some anonymous source saying that the Adminstration is pushing back etc.
