Today, they [Fannie and Freddie] and the FHA are 100% of the mortgage market and we have seen in this last crisis that ordinary financial institutions will withdraw from that market at the slightest indication of problems. You simply can't have a country like ours, with a large middle class, that doesn't have a functioning mortgage market all the time.
~Franklin Raines, former chairman and CEO, Fannie Mae, CNBC, May 4th, 2010
