Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[jwrober]

Just my opinion here, but the republicans are just itching to try and get rid of Fannie and Freddie. They need a scapegoat for the financial crisis...more specifically, they need one governmental so they can say, "see, look what big government got us into". In reality, it's the banks lending and speculative practices that were the underlying problem which, of course, is just the opposite of their narrative that the free market is pure and sinless.
I think Fannie and Freddie aren't going anywhere, at least not anytime soon.
