NY Times on Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac

A good article in the NY Times on the status of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the quasi-government agencies that backed the mortgages of many homes. The National Affordable Housing Trust Fund was initially supposed to be funded through a part of their profits.

I should note that those two agencies have been unfairly blamed for the crash of the housing market, by people who confuse cause & effect.
