Rethinking Fannie, Freddie and Mortgages

The Freddie and Fannie MBS bonds clearly state that they are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government. The taxpayers have been ripped off again. The bankers need to go to jail not be bailed out.

Grab Your Shorts, the Tide Has Turned

Jim Rogers has it right we need to dissolve the Federal Reserve to save our country. The interference and manipulation in the stock and commodities markets are out of control. This is only putting off the pain. Email your congressman and senator and tell them that if they don't reel in the Mr. Bernake and Paulson. The pain that they will feel is at the polls.

Fannie, Freddie: Beyond the Balance Sheets

Let the common and preferred stock go to zero and have the U.S. Government back the mortgage part only. Take them into receivership and create a resolute trust to accept the foreclosures like was done in the last S&L meltdown. These are publicly traded companies and deserve to go broke. The reason that moral hazard continues is that government backstops the losers rather that letting them fail, like should happen in a free market. Write your congressman and senator to make sure that taxpayer money is not spent to bailout these failed companies. This is an election year and think of the future generation debt if these company's are bailed out with taxpayers money. God bless America!

Excellent post. On strength of the dollar issue. Forty years ago with the dollar being devalued, out products would be selling like hot cakes. The problem is now we have few products since we are a service economy ie. jobs at McDonald's. We need a change in our government policies and direction. We should have the Apollo Project for Energy to produce jobs and products to sell the world.
