Filling an economic black hole...........

"Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have become gigantic financial black holes that the U.S. government endlessly pours massive quantities of money into. Unfortunately, if the U.S. government did allow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to totally implode, both the mortgage industry and the housing industry in the United States would completely collapse"

5 Trillion MORE Dollars To Fix Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac???
