Freddie and Fannie must come to an end

This week the NYSE delisted the shares of both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae as their shares continued to head south. These are the two mortgage giants propped up by the Federal Government for decades with the glowing support of Democrats Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.

For years they conspired to provide loans to people totally unqualified while taking campaign donations as fast as they could stuff them into their pockets.

So we bail them out and Barney and Chris get more donations. You'd think they came from Chicago.

Look these companies are bankrupt (like our government). Stick them with a fork. They're done.

Declare bankruptcy and sell off what ever meager assets are left. The only thing worse than making a dumb mistake is to keep making it over and over.
