As a taxpayer NO! NO!! NO!!! We don't need to have to bail them out again because they are private. The greedy rich want to get all the money. US taxpayers deserve to get the money after we had to bail them out. If those greedy people want, start their own finance companies.

What a freakin' disaster

And 'privatization' has benefited consumers when exactly? (awkward silence.)

Of course. They want most of government to be privitized. That's why we have healthcare for profit. That's why so many are supporting charter schools. They seem to think that the private sector can do everything better than government. Not.

Of course they do.

GOP=Get Our Piece

Do they really think they can be trusted with any finance decisions?

As opposed to having their profits sucked dry by treasury and eventually wound down? I’m sure the large private banks had my best interests in mind while they were lobbying to keep the status quo

Because that went so well....🤦‍♀️

They never were private.

Replace mortgages with 20-year leases

Cause we all saw how well THAT worked!

You can't leave off the part where the BarackObama admin restructured the deal in a way not even the mob could get away with. Not only has the Gov received $90B in profit but FNMA & FMCC still technically owe the gov the full amount of the bailout.

The republican motto is; If it works, break it.

Amazing. Anything to figure out a way to high risk and self-serve.

Cooling Housing Market Prompts Closer Scrutiny of Some LendersGinnie Mae is stepping up scrutiny of nonbank mortgage lenders, concerned that some may not have the financial heft to overcome stressed conditions. Why this photo make me. Thing of phontigallo's charity starts at home 😂🔥💪🏋 Kinda like the Clinton administration did. Everyone should be entitled to own a home so they loosened regulations for banks. I got to name my own price how much my house was worth when I had it refinanced. The lending company didn’t even do an appraisal. Year 1994. Bill Clinton. What could go wrong?
