What would be the objective of it all though, either way they decide to do it? Either through drainage of capital or just shutting them down, what's the reasoning and logic of it all?
Either way you decide to shut them down, you'd still be leaving the billions of dollars more you could make off of the warrants on the table, so why if you're the government, would you leave those warrants? Lol why leave so much more money on the table?
If you eventually let Fannie and Freddie die via drainage of capital, then you'd lose that revenue stream but also the warrants...
If you let them build their capital...then you still eventually lose their revenue once they're freed of conservatorship but you still have the warrants so you'd make tons of billions more...if you choose to exercise them...
