Nope! They had better standards than the private sector by far.Nope! They had better standards than the private sector by far. Fannie and Freddie were hemorrhaging market share to private lenders during the subprime crisis.The writing of mortgages was pushed by private lenders who were making money by processing them and selling off the junk to unwitting investors.What was false about it?False and revisionist history.The brown turd's debt was accrued because Nancy Pelosi and the Demoncraps didnt stop the Fannie Freddie debacle from happening. Because of that, the smelly excrement Oblummer got to spend 1.5 trillion dollars a year, and still had the highest amount in poverty since the war on poverty started. Thanks Oblummer...Simple answer, Obama stifled the US economy with regulations and moving jobs and factories overseas. It was an "unforced error", i.e. "those jobs are not coming back".You mean aside from his failed leadership resulting in far more economic damage than was necessary?WTF does Trump have to do with all the money the Fed and Congress is throwing at the COVID pandemic?
Here's an interesting question. Why is the fiscal and monetary response to COVID on Congress and the Fed when Congress and the Fed's response to the Bush recession was on Obama?
psssssssssst..i know why.
Trump's Debt was due to external circumstances. The strongest economy the world had ever seen was shutdown for 3-months or so.
See the difference? One Debt addition was unforced, and one was externally forced.
Obama's debt was incurred due to an economic collapse that predated his administration, which is an external circumstance.
Trump's massive debt was accrued as a direct result of his policies for tax cuts and then exacerbated by his inability to control the spread of COVID 19.
The dramatic change in the mortgage industry leading into the subprime crisis was the involvement of private mortgage lenders who drove down the requirements for mortgages. Fannie and Freddie had little if anything to do with it.
It was primarily unregulated free market capitalism.
Completely false
It was overregulation by Democrats who were dead set on getting losers into homes that they could never afford to pay for.
That's the root cause.
False. The vast majority of subprime mortgages were written by specialty mortgage brokers who were not subject to the CRS. Those regulations had been present for decades but there was never any subprime crisis.
The writing of mortgages was pushed by private lenders who were making money by processing them and selling off the junk to unwitting investors.
How much of the junk was bought by Fannie and Freddie?
Very little. Fannie and Freddie had far higher underwriting standards. It was sold to investment firms who sold it to investors and made a ton of money off of it. Default rates for the mortgages sold to investment firms was 6 times that which was bought by Fannie and Freddie.
Very little.
How little?
Fannie and Freddie had far higher underwriting standards.
They used to, until Clinton, and later Bush, forced them to buy subprime junk.

They did. Before Clinton.
Nope. They had better standards before Clinton. After Clinton. During Bush. At all times during the housing boom. It’s the reason they lost so much market share, because they had higher standards.
They had better standards before Clinton.
And then he weakened them.
Their standards were always higher than private lenders who precipitated the crisis.
They should have higher standards than private lenders, the taxpayers are on the hook!!
That ignores the point that Clinton weakened their standards.
They used to only buy "conforming loans", until Clinton forced then to buy subprime mortgages.
