Sarah is an economic moron nonetheless because this sucker is too big to be bailed out, plus it makes to sense to say you're going to shrink the organization to save money. The bulk of the cost is the $5T of crap mortgage debt, 9% of which have missed payments, and we ain't seen nothing yet.

Freddie and Fannie are to big in the minds of many. They were allowed to become something they should not have become and it is now to late to do anything but keep them afloat. They should never have been allowed to back high risk loans.
