With respect to Coke, Thank you for proving my point. Fannie and Freddie did not originate ANY suprime loans, they merely entered the secondary market following the private lenders who initiate the "NINJA (no income, no job or assests) mortgages seeking unjust enrichment in the Bush-GOP era of deregulation, while Fannie and Freddie came to the table late merely in order to protect their market share. You have just conceded that the real estate bubble was caused by Wall Street and the GOP. Thank you for your confession of error. Confession is good for the soul.
