What's $400 billion dollars?

Hey what's $400 billion dollars? It is the amount of losses of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that you are paying to keep them afloat. And what is wrong with that? We as an economy sure as heck have another $400 billion dollars that we can take out of circulation and help prop up thousands of bad mortgages. Most of these mortgages will never get current. Most of these mortgages should be in bankruptcy now so as to clear the market out of this toxic debt which is still dragging down the housing market. But this administration still feels they are doing a great job and will throw more taxpayers monies out to keep them afloat. And also pay the officials of these two failed mortgages giants $6 million in compensation for the great job they are doing. It is an economic fantasy as to why this money keeps getting spent on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to prop up these bad mortgages. And this waste of taxpayer's monies need to stop immediately. We need the free market system to clear the bad debt out and let the normal supply and demand of housing start to go forward again. It is economic reality that not everyone can afford to own a home. The federal government needs to understand it. I am personally tired of paying for this ridiculous piece of social welfare that has failed our economy.
