Today, the House Oversight and
Government Reform Committee is finally holding a hearing on the failures
of the government-sponsored housing enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. John Berlau, Director of the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s
Center for Entrepreneurship, applauds the committee for grilling former Fannie
and Freddie executives, but he disputes Chairman Henry Waxman&#039;s assertions that
the GSEs were not a “catalyst” of the mortgage crisis and were simply “following
the market.”
