Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[kthomp19]

You are already well aware about the differences.

Saying that there are differences is very different from saying that there are no similarities. And it's the similarities (including but not limited to the list in this post) that you should be worried about.

That last link is completely inapposite for three reasons:

1) The ruling was that the Fed couldn't take an equity stake, not Treasury (whose authority to do so was granted by HERA).
2) The ruling was overturned on appeal so it got completely vacated. It has no precedential power at all.
3) The damages were for $0 anyway.
