Perpetual Bailouts for the Fiscal Black Holes of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?

Perpetual Bailouts for the Fiscal Black Holes of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?

Posted on July 5, 2011 by Dan Mitchell

Here’s a recent interview with Neil Cavuto about bailouts for Fannie Mae, one of the government-created entities used by Barney Frank, et al, to subsidize housing (and line the pockets of well-connected political insiders).

My main concern is not the bailouts, which surely are odious, but whether we can at least limit future damage by getting the government out of the business of misallocating capital and distorting markets.

When in a hole, put down the %*#(& shovel and stop digging!
