Hi Kthomp and Bobstruth

Check out the interview that Dr. Susan Wachter did with the FCIC. The question about who in the USG was pushing the GSE's came up at the end of the hour long interview. She was asked the question and then answered off the record. Listen to the last minute from 58:50.

Great interview - she predicted the next housing crisis would be due to an interest rate shock.
