It's about time that Paulson finally implements a policy that will allow the likes of Fannie and Freddie to borrow money at lower rates.
After "nationalizing" these two entities the Treasury failed to explicitly guarantee them. As a result, they couldn't compete with others for market rates.
This has been going on for weeks now, until today when the Treasury announced that they would FINALLY be purchasing mortgage-backed securities.
As a result of today's actions, mortgage rates have dropped an incredible 1/2 point.
It's about time!!!
