Freddie and Fannie are “too big to fail”. No matter what anyone says, they will be saved. The question is what that winds up meaning in terms of the resources that they throw at it, and where those resources come from.

This is only Chapter One of a story that probably will get interesting around Chapters 7, 11, and especially 13.

That’s the edge of the real story.
