Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[3antar]

While there has been pressure in the past to effectively liquidate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the taxpayer base has made more money off of the Fannie bailout than it did on most banks. Also, this does keep the mortgage market running more fluidly with more liquidity for the conforming mortgage market. Maybe there is a reason you do not hear about too many politicians trying to shutter the GSEs tied to the mortgage market any longer.
