Look boys I appluade your efforts to educate these guys, but one of two things is happening.
1. Either they're incapable of understanding the points you make; or
2. They don't want to understand the points you make.
Now based on the way they attack the messenger bringing them REAL DATA?
One has to question their motives for continuously missing (or mistating and then complainting about) the point.
I guess what I am saying here is your expectations that the scales will fall from their eyes is naive.
Only intellectually honest people can admit that they were wrong or don't understand.
You're not playing with peiople for whom intellectual honesty is important.
You're mostly discussing issues with partisans who think that insulting people who disagree with the POV is the whole point of coming here.
So, in your view, the Obama economy is doing great?
Conservatives just plug their ears and go "nananana i cant hear you" every time someone states facts that they dont like.

So in your mind the entire financial crisis and recession is the result of government backed lending being spread out between 2 agencies rather than one? Right. Sounds economically and logically sound to me....lol...
You know, your really supporting our theory that you have nothing of substance to say.
Please, state a fact. Like even one fact.
Even better, how about you answer my question about fannie and freddie moron.

They set the underwriting stands for AAA rated paper; they constantly lowered the standards for that paper.
"Wall Street" finances trillions of dollars over every conceivable product type, why is it that the one product line that went bust was the one where the government set the underwriting standards and was the biggest lender?

^^Proof that you do not know what fannie and freddie do.
"They set the underwriting stands for AAA rated paper; they constantly lowered the standards for that paper."
Fannie and freddie have no power to set what constitutes a AAA security. Those are private rating agencies.
You just failed hard. I knew you didnt know what fannie and freddie did.

Fannie and freddie bought, packaged, and resold mortgages and mortgage backed securities.
Fitch, moodys, and S&P attach ratings to those securities. Fannie mae cant just say "this is a AAA asset"
Again, Your wrong. Fail harder.

Government-sponsored enterprise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Once again for the feeble minded, F/F are GSE's that's government sponsored entities, can you say "government sponsored entities" I knew you could, that means that have the de facto (former) AAA rating of the US government on whatever paper they sell.
Surely, you saw that when you Googled "GSE" right?
So the Government was assigning an AAA rating to NINA loans.
Fannie and freddie bought, packaged, and resold mortgages and mortgage backed securities.
Fitch, moodys, and S&P attach ratings to those securities. Fannie mae cant just say "this is a AAA asset"
Again, Your wrong. Fail harder.

Idiot....
"My contention is that F/F caused the bubble by throwing their AAA rating on crappy paper and Wall Street followed suit. Instead of having the highest underwriting standards F/F proudly held the lowest."
Fannie mae does not control the rating of the asset....private ratings agencies do.....
do you get this.
When i said "those are private ratings agencies", i think you thought i was referring to fannie and freddie. no, i was referring to moodys and fitch and such.
did you google gse like i told you?
