Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[Louie_Louie]

One part the article needed to expand on is the part where they stated the GSE's are designated SIFI and take on extraordinary financial risk....they should of expounded more about how political manipulation is probably responsible for at least, at minimum 50% of that risk, and is why the government needs to provide a back stop and quit bytch'n about taxpayer risk, bail out, investor subsidized gains by tax payer and the government, etc.

If the government kept their dirty little hands out of the GSE's business and let the companies be run without being a congressional whipping boy, everything would work as it should, including lower capital requirements.

The way the government has treated the GSE's these past 11-12 years has nothing to do with capitalism, and is why they will likely have a hard time raising capital. They already worked themselves into a corner currently, and are blind to the fact that "THEY ARE THE PROBLEM"!
