It's a liberal sacred cow. Any attempt to take the bloated pig out back and put it out of our misery will likely trigger political armageddon. The sad part is that they served an important roll in the mortgage market but that wasn't enough for nitwits like Barney Frank who saw it as a tool to be used to create social justice. Hundreds of billions of dollars later.....

I am a realist... whether the glass is half full or half empty, if you stick around too long, you get stuck washing a dirty glass.
