Reform in the case of Fannie and Freddie, two publicly traded corporations, is complicated by the FHFA-run conservatorship and the onerous contractual arrangements with the US Treasury. Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's corporate structure and operations have been reformed, more or less, and continue to be profitable corporations.
The reform ideas being bandied about is not about reforming business operations. The reform sought is structural and political and is centered on power and control of these corporations by the US Government through Congressional law and the regulatory powers of the FHFA. This sort of reforming is a type of central planning of the primary and secondary mortgage markets in the US. This sort of reform is to be seen in contrast with a market economy and the transfer of the ownership of private property (houses, apartments) from private hands, be they banks, investors and home and building owners to government and semi-government corporations which receive interest and principal payments.
For example, one can readily evidence the immense transfer and change in the flow of cash (tens of billions) and property (MBS in the trillions) from the private sector to the US Treasury via the Federal Reserve, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other GSEs from 2008 till present. The cash disappears into the US Treasury and is not returned to the US economy. This cash has been used to pay the deficit and/or other government expenditures and does not directly recirculate into the US economy.
