The federal government is currently requiring Fannie May and Freddy Mac to sue their business partners—the banks—over the mess they’ve all made together. This is awkward, because while they do that they are also being required to cooperate to untangle the mess.
Presumably, when all this is done, what it basically means is the government will know who to fine. And at what level.
Which is basically bogus. This situation requires major surgery, months in full body traction, and possibly a mercy killing. All this move does is put another band-aid on it.
