Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[big-yank]

Any further bailouts doled out to the GSEs will send Congress into toxic catatonic political shock-and-awe retaliation from the Grover Norquist rank and stank army, led by the Speaker of the House. You know, the one that looks like Eddie Munster?

The Federal charters get revoked, the conservatorship ends and Fannie & Freddie find out what life after divorce is really like with no alimony or child support from Uncle. Just a bunch of regulation requirements that must be met. Banks won't loan them any money in that scenario. Too risky. And equity markets aren't likely to play ball, either, especially after floating all that suspended preferred stock in the lead in period to conservatorship.

So that leads to the doomsday default outcome. No choice but to liquidate.

JMHO.
