Fannie and Freddie

1. Housing bill passed recently contained a provision for bailing out Fannie and Freddie.
2. Paulson (lied) when he said there was no immediate plan to use this authority.
3. Fannie and Freddie go into conservatorship.
4. The US taxpayer is now on the hook for the housing mess.

Privatized profits, socialized risk. The Republican way.
