Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac: Congress Backs Rescue Package

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Thank you for Paul A. Gigot’s excellent editorial “The Fannie Mae Gang.” Creating a private company free to use federal credit to buy Congress and drain communities, pension funds and global investors is a bad idea indeed. However, it is not as bad an idea as bailing it out after it has finished making such a mess.
Sincerely Yours,
