   From your link: At the depth of the recession in 2008, a federal conservator took over housing giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to avoid a real-estate meltdown. Some form of federal guarantee has backed more than 90 percent of the U.S. home mortgages originated since then.

   That is nuts and it needs to stop, it’s time to rip the bandaid off and get it over with and start the recovery.
