Dear Reps. Frwank and Weiner (the latter being too evocative to change …):

In response to your request we have created a new security made up of mortgages for condominium developments that have achieved less than a 70% sales threshold. We will release them for sale to the general public as soon as the two of you converted your entire life savings and investment portfolios to purchase them and placed them in a blind trust that will not change them.

Sincerely,

Freddy Mac and Fannie Mae

They used to sing “We Shall Overcome”… we just didn’t understand what that really meant… now we know.

The real question is: Can they be stopped?

If anyone wrote this five years ago as a true-to-life story, it’d have been considered a farce instead.

Nah. Just like Talleyrand said about the Bourbons, “they have learned nothing and forgotten nothing.” May not be the exact quote, but close enough for government work.
