      You know, on second thought, you are right Brad, all is ok. I defer to your Harvad Ph.D. and qualifications as a professor at Berkley so prominently displayed on your web page.

      Fannie and Freddie are A-OK. The crash of their stock prices must be some kind of anomaly. Also, the falling dollar, skying commodities, crashing banking stocks, bankrupt mortgage companies, plummeting housing prices, etc. all seem to point to a bright future. We certainly seem to be winnning this "keep-the-economy... full employment game". The Minisirty of Truth also says we are winning the inflation game. Phew. Happy times ahead.

      Risky asset prices need to collapse, not be subsidized by more Bernanke bucks.

      Neither the stockholders or bond holders should be bailed out. The bonds have no guarantee. And if it is "implied", it shouldn't be.

      The very best thing for the mortgage market is to let the buyers of the bonds feel the pain of taking on risky mortgage backed securities. Thisis the only way to prevent this rapant "risk free" speculation in the future. Letting the bond holders earn a return in line with the return that the actual mortgages produce will cause future mortgages and mortgage bonds to be priced appropriately by the market.

      Otherwise, we will end up right back in another bubble where the robber barrons rape the taxpayer by taking ridiculous risks to line their pocket books knowing they can pawn off any losses to the masses.

      This is exactly what is wrong with American crony capitalisim. Alas, my idea will never happen. We are doomed to a future of pillaging and will eventually end up as a Banana Republic. Oil, gold and commodities are proving to be a much more reliable currency and store of value than the buck. They aren't making any more oil or gold. On the other hand, their is an unlimitled supply of Bernanke bucks.

      This is exactly what is wrong with American crony capitalisim. Alas, my idea will never happen. We are doomed to a future of pillaging and will eventually end up as a Banana Republic. Want to know why oil is so high? It is a heck of a lot more reliable currency and store of value than the buck. They aren't making any more of it. On the other hand, their is an unlimitled supply of Bernanke bucks.
