Q: Five years after the crisis, Fannie, Freddie and the FHA own or guarantee nearly all non-jumbo home loans — nearly no loans get made without their insurance, especially. Why hasn't the private sector come up with an alternative that works?

A: Why would a lean hungry private sector come in with a new idea when a lean, hungry private sector already put in $34 billion and it was taken away?


Merry Christmas, Everyone!
