      • In gods name I can't believe people still have the notion it was FNF's fault!!
        Wake up people, the BANKS are the ones who lent money out to every Tom, #$%$ & Harry and then turned around and sold the loans to FNF with out disclosing the poor quality of loans they were selling.

        When Tom, #$%$ & Harry could not pay their mortgage anymore, the blame fell on Fannie, when it was ACTUALLY the BANKS WHO FAILED TO DISCLOSE THE POOR QUALITY.

        SHEESH PEOPLE WAKE UP LOL. Less

The US housing finance system works just fine

The US housing finance system works just fine From Mr Chris Lafakis. Sir, Edward Luce (“ Hedge funds are testing the quality of US democracy ” (Comment, May 12) paints the investors’ lawsuit against the US government on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as a righteous struggle between noble American democracy and the evil lords of Wall Street. Should we not question the authority of the US government to confiscate the profits of any company, including one that it bailed out, by fiat decree? The US government would not have dared to do this to AIG because it knows it would have lost in court. Banks, regulators and Congress were just as indispensable to the financial crisis as the government-sponsored enterprises. So why should the GSEs alone be taken to task? More I Mr Luce and virtually every commentator or politician who opines on this issue, including President Barack Obama, wants the US to unilaterally disarm one of its greatest sources of comparative advantage: cheap, ...

NO LENDERS to replace Fannie, Freddie

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The regulator of government-controlled mortgage finance firms Fannie Mae ( FNMA ) and Freddie Mac ( FMCC ) said on Sunday he would not oppose them having a smaller presence in the market but private capital had to be ready to take over first. Watt said last week, in his first public speech since taking office, that he did not want to shrink Fannie and Freddie's footprint, marking a sharp departure from his predecessor.Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Mel Watt said the two companies, which own or guarantee about 60 percent of all U.S. home loans, needed to remain in the housing finance market to make sure it was liquid and resilient. "It's not that I'm opposed to it and we will certainly allow it to happen," he told C-SPAN's "Newsmakers" program, when asked about the prospect of shrinking the lenders' activities.
