Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[kthomp19]

This is horrible logic. Because it happened to AIG, it should apply everywhere?

That's not what I said.

What I did say was that your argument of "If they wanted it done, it would be done." was flawed because you could have said the same thing for AIG up until the day the conversion happened, and it happened anyway.

For every example of a bailout effort resulting in Govt owning common stock, there are considerably more where it doesn't happen.

Which of those involved Treasury having an equity position and straight up waiving it, rather than exchanging it for something else?
