Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[big-yank]

Yes, I agree totally with your read. It's kind of like the "nuclear option" frequently mentioned in congressional discussions of the debt ceiling.

Were this divorce to take place, would this leave the GSEs as unregulated fully-private businesses? Would the former regulator be reinstated?

The one facilitator in this would be satisfying the camp within government that cites reform as necessary to prevent another bailout. That part goes away with dissolution. What remains, unresolved, is the surviving questions on the fate and future of affordable housing.

Never devoted enough time to diving into this agreement. I'll have to work on that.

JMHO.
