Roughly 1,000,000 …

Of all the policy mistakes Trump has made as President, taking Fannie and Freddie public with explicit government guarantees would be the worst so far. Prior to their bankruptcy, the guarantees were only implicit. An explicit guarantee would allow the GSEs to be even more reckless than they were before, allowing the president’s friends to …
My understanding… “Implicit guarantee” = The government does not explicitly commit to backing the GSEs, but markets assume it would intervene to prevent failure. This was the case before the 2008 financial crisis when investors believed the government would rescue the GSEs if… — Lance Lambert (@NewsLambert) May 27, 2025 1. Trump plans to push …
