A recipe for housing disaster – Washington Post
This was yesterday’s Washington Post piece about the GSEs. Bill Maloni commented on the article, however his comment has not yet been approved for the article, and probably never will. I have posted it here with Bill’s permission.
“The Post’s long held anti-GSE editorial positions are hardly new, but it might be a little more cautious in its choice of heroes. Monday’s editorial heaped praise Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) to whom you give credit for tying the federal government’s hands, if the courts happen to rule for plaintiffs suing the government over its handling of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Where were you–editorially or on the news front–when its was reported that Senator Corker had more than 900 personal stock transactions in 2014 not filed with the appropriate Senate offices. There were no references ever to that matter in the Post? Where were you when the Wall Street Journal and other media reported that Senator Corker was late in reporting his 2015 trades as well, despite earning millions of investment dollars in those two years? Where was the Post in reporting that Corker actively traded in many financial service companies with business issues–and therefore lobbyists–coming before Corker’s Senate Banking Committee? The answer is the Post had nothing on those two matters either. Maybe Post editors and writers should pay a little more attention to the junior Senator from Tennessee.” |

Hensarling crafting bill to repeal ‘huge swaths’ of Dodd-Frank – The Hill
The panel also will restart work on a housing finance reform bill next year and may take a more piecemeal approach this time around.
“I haven’t abandoned all hope on getting some modest bipartisan progress done,” Hensarling said.
The chairman said he has talked with the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) as they continue to develop their securitization platform to ensure that it is “constructed in a way that could lay the foundation for whatever solution Congress comes up with.”
That could be some “bipartisan consensus potentially on a little bit more risk-sharing,” he said. |
