Even Ugoletti - who elsewhere is not our friend - lays out the original "path" - wow (I forget where ugoletti is on the opposite side on what the GOV knew?)
The goal of Paulson et al when it all started (not at time of Sweep - where Ugoletti is not so friendly?) --- but from the start
WOW
now this approach IMO continued with Geithner and a pure belief in private money
I have noted my theory that such Rubin - Greenspan - Paulson think was TAUGHT to the president
That is why I "gave some space - lots of space" to the WH
I also said I hope to god that LEW was not of that mindset and WATT and LEW would get the POTUS better informed on the value of a private and independent (of TBTFBanks) F and F
WATT started a bit on that issue Now I hope to see LEW move out a bit in our direction
But congress didn't act before FNMA became profitable, negating the need to be in conservatorship. Exiting from conservatorship would not necessarily preclude congress from crafting a new system and passing it. But if they weren't able to do that, they weren't able to do that! And the remaining issue is the unnecessary conservatorship.
