I have a simple all-win proposal to Obama. I am sure the proposal is easy to implement and is beneficial to all parties concerned. Problem is how to submit that. Can anyone do that for me, as I am not a US citizen ?
US Treasury: • provides $121B to rescue Fannie & Freddie • original terms: 10% interest rate on bailout money • original terms: 80% Options • new terms (5th Amendment): 100% on profit
Current Status: • Fannie & Freddie paid back $125B already • Mortgage market is back to business • Some lawsuits that the 5th Amendment is unconstitutional
All-Win Proposal: • Fannie & Freddie to repay the $121B according to the original terms • Treasury to sell off the 80% Options in the market to make $400B • Form a Mortgage Market Reserve Fund of $400B to protect against similar mortgage market risk
Who wins ? • Government Win 1: 200% returns on bailout money in 6 years to Treasury • Government Win 2: Government guarantee to mortgage market remains implicit • Government Win 3: Lower government risk with the Reserve Fund • Public Win 1: Lower government risk • Public Win 2: Low mortgage rate continues • Public Win 3: Liquidity to mortgage market can be ensured • Common Stockholder Win: Stock value loss can be reduced
