That is why they are planning for Fannie and Freddie to play a major role in this bailout plan - because they are going to bail them out anyway.<BR/><BR/>When they bail out fannie and freddie they will blame 'the housing bubble', refusing to acknowledge that it was government policy that, when it had a chance to act responsibly and save the system without bailouts, made the situation that much worse.<BR/><BR/>Congrats to the person who picked Indymac to tank first but, technically speaking, they have not completely hit BK yet. Or what was our criteria for the contest? I picked Fannie but maybe my pick won't count if Fannie is bailed out before it can actually become insolvent.Paul E.
