So what is it you think they do???
BTW Freddie Mac buys mortgages on the secondary market, pools them, and sells them as a mortgage-backed security to investors on the open market....care to debate this???
Freddie/Fannie controlled more than 70% of the mortgages. But at least with them, to get a mortgage, you had to prove that you had a job and could theoretically pay it back.
Due to the Republican deregulation of Wall Street, that market moved so that it was Wall Street that was passing out 70% of the mortgages. They didn't make the same requirements of Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae. Wall Street bundled those mortgages together and sold them overseas as "securities" and that is the basis of the housing collapse. No offense, but I thought everyone knew that. Why do you think Bush and Obama sent so much money to Wall Street?

Wall Street has never done 70% of the loans, not even 70% of the Sub Prime Loans.....
Do you have any clue what a
FHA DPA loan required? This was a loan fully controlled by Freddie & Fannie, Wall Street had nothing to do with this loan......
Take some time and do a little research, this is my profession, you're only listening to half of the story, btw it is the wrong half.....
