Legislación para poner fin a Fannie y Freddie podría ser difícil de obtener a través de cualquier cámara, ya que el sector de la vivienda es una de las pocas partes de la economía que está actuando bien en este momento. El dinero que envían a los dos gigantes a la Tesorería también dificultará un movimiento por razones de presupuesto equilibrado.
