Socialism, pure and simple.
These institutions were run poorly, the managers taking risks knowing that the citizens would be forced to pay the bill for their recklessness.
GOP: party of fiscal responsibility? Dear God, when will this end? Time for conservatives to rise up. This is crazy. I’m tired of paying and paying for the greed and mistakes of others.

Very much like the present Federal government. Taking action to correct the problem it created.
Why is it the government never gets blamed for these failures?

I have an idea. Why doesn’t the government stop forcing lenders to make risky loans? Why doesn’t the government encourage people to stop getting into debt over their heads? I guess it wouldn’t be “fair”.

Right out of Hugo’s playbook?
To: John W
Huh.
Ain’t that funny?
It was about a year ago we had all sorts of people on FR yelling about how the sub-prime debt problem was contained and wouldn’t spread. How it was being “overblown” and was a MSM fabrication to take down this wonderful Bush economy...
This must be a figment of the MSM’s imagination!

Great. Federal control means taxpayer bailout. Once again the taxpayer will fund the govt’s total incompetence.

The Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) (NYSE: FNM), commonly known as Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac are government sponsored enterprise of the United States. It is a stockholder-owned corporation authorized to make loans and loan guarantees. It props up the secondary mortgage loans. These two enterprises guarantee half of the 12 Trillion dollar mortgages. With out these two lenders there would be no loans for houses. The government can’t afford for these 2 mortgage lenders to go under.

Lest we forget, Fannie was under the "leadership" of Clinton cronie and incompetent/corrupt affirmative-action-appointed CEO Franklin Raines. Of course, the drive-bys aren't talking about that.

This isn't the Armageddon that many on this thread are shouting. The Japanese stock market is up almost 300 points and US stock index futures are surging along with US bank stocks.
